Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The objectives of Healthy People 2030 identify the need to increase the proportion of persons with co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders receiving treatment for both disorders. Thus, single substance abuse treatment programs would be least beneficial. The objectives call for an increase in depression screening by primary care providers, an increase in the proportion of homeless adults with mental health problems who receive mental health treatment, and an increase in the proportion of persons with serious mental illness who are employed.
