Author(s): Druss, B. G., & Walker, E. R.

This RWJF report examines the rate of comorbidity between medical and mental conditions and why it is so common; the associated mortality, quality of care, and cost burdens of comorbidity; and the current evidence-based approaches for addressing comorbidity.
