Request a sales quoteMental Health & Prevention is a peer reviewed journal dedicated to the prevention of mental and behavioural disorders and mental ill health, and the promotion of mental well-being. Note, manuscripts must be relevant to both mental health AND prevention. Its scope encompasses universal, selective and indicated prevention and mental health promotion across the lifespan. All mental and behavioural disorders are covered, as well as suicide and self-injury. The journal does not cover early intervention or treatment of mental and behavioural disorders. This journal does not generally accept cross-sectional studies unless they are very large and population representative, or focussed on under-studied populations, with clear implications for mental health prevention.

Research on the need for prevention
Research contributing to the development of interventions
Descriptions of major programs, where there is accompanying evaluation
Evaluations of interventions to prevent disorders or reduce risk factors, including controlled and uncontrolled trials and qualitative studies
