A systematic review of long-term outcomes of patients with psychosis who received early intervention servicesInternational Review of Psychiatry, 31
ObjectiveCommentary on the debate concerning the effectiveness of headspace, including the most recent independent evaluation of its services.ConclusionsThe available evaluations indicate that headspace does not deliver therapy of adequate duration that results in clinically significant improvement. Most evaluations have used either short-term process measures or uncontrolled satisfaction surveys, and where there have been data on outcomes using standardised instruments, findings have been disappointing. Costs are poorly quantified and probably underestimated. Even so, headspace as a primary care intervention costs twice as much as a mental health consultation by a general practitioner and, depending on the assumptions, may not be cost effective.
