[심리] Mental Health Therapy as a Core Strategy for Increasing Human Capital: Evidence from Ghana
가나 국외연구자료 연구보고서 - NBER 발간일 : 2021-10-13 등록일 : 2021-10-31 원문링크
We study the impact of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals selected from the general population of poor households in rural Ghana. Results from 2-3 months after a randomized intervention show strong impacts on mental and physical health, cognitive and socioemotional skills, and downstream economic outcomes. We find no evidence of heterogeneity by baseline mental distress; we argue that this is because CBT can improve human capital for a general population of poor individuals through two pathways. First, CBT reduces vulnerability to deteriorating mental health; and second, CBT directly improves bandwidth, increasing cognitive and socioemotional skills and hence economic outcomes.
