Behavioral Health

Overarching goal: More Allegheny County residents experience mental well-being.

Key metric: By 2027, fewer than 11% of residents will answer 'not good' for 14+ days to the following question: "Now thinking about your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, for how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health not good?" (Baseline 14% in 2019). Source: BRFSS
