Background and Motivations

The special issue seeks to publish original research papers that deepen our understanding of the multifaceted connections between mental health and various aspects of socioeconomic well-being and economic behaviors. Contributors are encouraged to explore how mental health intersects with economic factors, educational attainment, labor market participation, productivity, discrimination, social integration, political behaviors, and more.

Papers addressing local policy challenges and potential reforms related to mental health are highly encouraged. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that not only provide compelling evidence but also have the potential to catalyze new research ideas and directions. With this objective in mind, we highly value papers that offer a diverse range of viewpoints and research methods, and we especially encourage submissions that introduce significant new data to address these topics.

We invite submissions on a wide array of topics, including but not limited to:

• Methodological innovations in measuring mental health

• Understanding cross-country or cross-cultural variation in mental health

• Measuring or intervening to improve mental health among young people

• Studying the role of social media and related technologies in affecting the mental health of young people in developing countries.

• Approaches to increasing access and equity in mental health services

• Novel approaches to mental health interventions, including digital technology

• Organizational and personnel challenges in the provision of mental health care

• Novel insights into mental health workforce recruitment, retention, and support

• The impact of non-traditional mental health interventions on underserved populations

• Scalability and cost-effectiveness of mental health programs at the individual or community level

• The link between mental health and long-term socioeconomic prospects

• Diverse impacts of mental health interventions across demographic and socio-economic groups

  
  

In addition to empirical papers that establish causal relationships (including those that provide comprehensive but inconclusive findings), we also welcome descriptive studies, literature reviews, theoretical contributions, and replications that significantly enhance our collective comprehension of these themes.

The timeline of this special issue is as follows:

Submission Deadline: Initial submissions must be received by January 30th, 2025.
