Smith, Christopher J.
The major objective of this resource paper is to provide introductory readings for a course that investigates the role of geographical factors in the development, maintenance, and treatment of mental health programs. Themes concern: (1) the influence of geographical factors on mental health, or more generally, the influence of location on well-being; and (2) problems of service delivery and the effects of such factors as relative location, distance, and accessibility on and demand for and supply of help in the community.
