Mental health disorders remain widely under-reported — in our section on Data Quality & Definitions we discuss the challenges of dealing with this data. Figures presented in this entry should be taken as estimates of mental health disorder prevalence — they do not strictly reflect diagnosis data...

Further information can be found here.

Бюро ВОЗ в Украине инициировало написание этого отчета для оценки развития
интегрированных услуг для людей употребляющих наркотики в рамках ответа Украины на эп...демию ВИЧ. После комплексной оценки работы украинских программ интегрированной помощи в 2009 году, три сайта в Днепропетровске, Кривом Роге, и Симферополе были определены как отвечающие высоким стандартам, и на примере работы которых смогут научиться другие программы. Они еще далеки от совершенства, однако каждый сайт показал выдающийся прогресс во внедрении интегрированных услуг. Целью данной публикации является представление опыта этих реальных практических моделей для Украинского правительства и неправительственных
организаций, работающих над развитием интегрированного подхода в других учреждениях.
