There are huge inequalities in health research within and between countries. It is argued that this may hinder the process of setting and tackling mental health priorities. If this were true, establishing research priorities would be important. However, this is not a simple process and one must be aware of its limitations. Despite a plethora of declarations, funding for mental health research in low- and middle-income countries remains hard to find. In the absence of funding, establishing research priorities is seen by many as an exercise of lesser importance.
国家内部和国家之间在卫生研究方面存在巨大的不平等。有人认为，这可能会阻碍确定和解决心理健康优先事项的进程。如果真是这样，确定研究优先事项就很重要。然而，这不是一个简单的过程，必须意识到其局限性。尽管有大量声明，但中低收入国家的心理健康研究资金仍然难以获得。在缺乏资金的情况下，许多人认为确定研究优先事项的重要性较低。
