Examining the cost effectiveness of interventions to promote the physical health of people with mental health problems: a systematic review

Individuals with a primary diagnosis of moderate or severe mental illness (including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, moderate and major affective disorder, and delusional disorder) but no physical co-morbidity, in high-income countries. 11 studies included.

Non-pharmacological interventions specifically targeted at promoting physical health (e.g., exercise programmes, nutritional advice, smoking, alcohol and drug cessation, and infectious diseases prevention).

Standard care or alternative interventions (varies by included study).

Economic evaluation outcomes (cost-effectiveness, cost-consequences, cost-utility, cost-benefit, or cost-offset).
