Welcome!
 
This is the website of the EPREMED study group.
 
 
The European Policy Information Research for Mental Disorders project has been funded by the SG SANCO 2004, European Commission Program, and ran from 2005 to 2008. Final reports of the Project and other further documentation may be found at the Sanco-Epremed website.
 
 

The importance of mental health as a major source of diseases is increasingly recognised in the world.
 
However, the information on the distribution of mental disorders, their determinants and their social and economic consequences; as well as the possibilities to prevent them are still limited in Europe. 
 
Consequently, mental health policy information research is insufficiently based on the most accurate and up-to-date scientific evidence.
 

 
 
The EPREMED study group aims to improve the understanding of mental health burden, determinants, and services needs; as well as to increase and improve the practices and potential of mental health policy information in Europe.
 
To do so, it has conducted an in depth-analysis, producing a high quantitative and qualitative level of publications; and has further developed an important dissemination and training strategy. This website represents an important part of continuing efforts to inform stakeholders.
 
 
We would like to invite you to explore it. You will find an overall presentation of the Project and partners involved, and you will be able to consult the main findings of the project, the publications related to it, and other related documents.
 
We will be glad to receive your feedback at epremed@imim.es
