Mental health inequalities: measuring what counts
This paper, published by the NHS Networks, is based on a seminar organized jointly by Sainsbury Centre and the Department of Health in 2009. It argues that public services do not routinely collect data on mental health inequalities and that the information they do collect is not used to its full potential. It also calls for better information to be collected and used to measure inequalities in mental health and the life chances of people with mental health problems.

Systematic review of methods for evaluating healthcare research economic impact
This systematic review aims to identify the methods used to assess the economic impact of healthcare research, and the outcomes. The study shows that different methods and outcomes can be used to assess the economic impacts of healthcare research and that there is no unique methodological approach for the economic evaluation of such research. Researchers therefore recommend a consensus on practical guidelines at international level to assess the economic impacts of healthcare research.
