Why is it important?
The latest research suggests that mental health is a key issue in modern society, and access to effective treatment is currently inadequate. Books on Prescription is an important part of mental health treatment, and having a standardised scheme that is simple to access, nationally consistent, and widely promoted is vital.
Perspectives
This study focuses on mental health and the role that public libraries can play in supporting this area.
