Topics: Medicaid | Mental Health | Spending | State Data

This brief report from 2001 examines the role of state and local government in financing mental health care.  The report notes the increasing role played by Medicaid, which went from paying for slightly more than 33 percent of mental health services in 1987 to 50 percent of such services in 1997.
