Mental Health Analysis in Action
Example 1: Depression Treatment Outcome Analysis
A community mental health center wanted to compare the effectiveness of different depression treatments across their patient population. Using Sourcetable, they analyzed:
The analysis revealed that patients with mild to moderate depression showed 73% greater improvement when receiving combined therapy and medication management compared to single-modality treatment. This insight led to protocol changes that improved overall patient outcomes by 35%.
Example 2: Crisis Intervention Pattern Analysis
A regional healthcare system needed to understand when and why mental health crises occurred to better allocate emergency resources. Their analysis included:
The data showed crisis calls peaked 40% on Sunday evenings and during holiday periods. This insight enabled them to adjust staffing schedules and launch targeted prevention programs, reducing emergency interventions by 28%.
Example 3: Therapy Group Effectiveness Study
A private practice wanted to optimize their group therapy programs by analyzing which formats worked best for different conditions:
They discovered that anxiety-focused groups with 6-8 members meeting weekly for 90 minutes had 85% completion rates and showed equivalent outcomes to individual therapy at 60% of the cost, leading to expanded group programming.
