Prevalence and impact of mental health and substance use: Partner briefing paper September 2024

Work led by Te Pou and partners shows support for a series of interconnected mental health, addiction and substance use prevalence and impact studies conducted over the next 5 to 7 years, rather than a single one-off prevalence study. We have seen an upsurge in support since our initial call toaction in 2022 when we first started highlighting the need for good data. Now we regularly hear sector leaders, across government and non-government, speak to the need for investment in up to date, robust, prevalence data. The partner briefing paper provides an update for our partners and stakeholders as of September 2024.
