- Title
Economic Evaluations of Workplace Mental Health Interventions: A Critical Review.

- Abstract
A growing body of literature has identified stigma as a barrier to disclosing illness in the workplace. Given that employee participation in mental health programs determines an intervention's success, we critically reviewed economic evaluations of workplace mental health interventions in order to determine how participation rates have been taken into account. Available economic evaluations point to the ROI of work‐focused treatment and tertiary prevention interventions; however their external validity remains low since they are mostly carried out with hypothetical employers. Given that mental illness stigma and non‐disclosure stand as barriers to taking part in interventions, the onus should be placed on interventions aimed at reducing stigma at the organizational level before investing in products targeted at individuals.
