This IOM consensus study report addresses the mental health and substance use needs of the aging population and how the nation's health care is ill-equipped to meet these needs. The report discusses workforce shortages, insufficient workforce diversity, and lack of basic knowledge and competence in key areas and describes approaches to address these problems.
