MINDFUL - Mental Health Information and Determinants for the European Level

MINDFUL is a 2-year project (2004-2006) co-funded from the EC Public Health Programme.

MINDFUL aims at improving the status of mental health information within the European Union by building on previous work in this area and also by widening the scope of the mental health monitoring systems to cover - not only mental ill-health - but also positive mental health and mental health promotion and prevention of mental disorders.

The main outcome of MINDFUL is a comprehensive forward-looking mental health information system which endorses sound and sensible policy-making based on reliable and comparable information.
