Resumen
Descripción
There is a youth mental health crisis
in Lithuania. Mental health challenges have several
delirious consequences for the youth, including poor
performance in school and negative outcomes later in life
such as substance abuse, poor health, unemployment, and
incarceration. Addressing this crisis is a priority for the
Government of Lithuania, as documented in several strategic
plans and budgetary programs. At the request of the
government, the World Bank’s Bureaucracy Lab undertook an
empirical diagnostic of the youth mental health service
delivery chain, focusing on the education sector. The study
was based on a conceptual framework of a production function
of youth mental health service delivery. The report is
structured to give a comprehensive picture of the governance
factors in Lithuania’s mental health services delivery
system. Chapter 2 sets forth the conceptual framework used
to study the challenge and to design the survey. Chapter 3
charts the results from the study, closely following the
designed conceptual framework. Policy recommendations
constitute Chapter 4, with actionable proposals given for
each tier of the government.
