The Economic Case for Preventing Mental Ill Health.
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); 2026.
https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/the-economic-case-for-preventing-mental-ill-health_16668f16-en.html
[Focusing on depression and anxiety, this report sets out the strong economic case for investing in better mental health policies. It shows how evidence‑based interventions in primary care, schools, and workplaces can improve health outcomes and boost economic growth through improved productivity and labour market participation. Many of these interventions are cost‑effective and some cost‑saving. However the overall impact of these interventions remains low due to lack of implementation at scale.]

National Voices; 2026.

[National Voices was commissioned by NHS England to strengthen the evidence base on how NHS messages can be designed and delivered in ways that prompt action while remaining inclusive for groups most at risk of exclusion. The work focused on four target groups: older people, parents and carers, digitally excluded people, and people facing language barriers. Findings show how NHS England can design inclusive messaging.]
