To analyze the current status and efficiency optimization pathways of mental health resource allocation in Province S and to provide empirical evidence for optimizing provincial resource allocation and improving resource utilization efficiency.
Based on mental health resource data from 16 prefecture-level cities in Province S in 2024, this study employed Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the efficiency of resource allocation and used Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to identify configurational conditions associated with different efficiency levels.
Mental health resources in Province S have exhibited rapid growth but remain unevenly distributed overall. Among the 16 prefecture-level cities in Province S, only four cities, namely JN, DY, WF, and WH achieved strong DEA efficiency, with an average overall efficiency score of 0.829. Three high-efficiency configurational pathways were identified, namely the economic support-oriented, service-driven, and resource integration-oriented types, with an overall consistency of 0.808. In addition, one low-efficiency pathway, characterized by input imbalance, was identified, with an overall consistency of 0.907.
The overall efficiency of mental health resource allocation in Province S still has considerable room for improvement. Prefecture-level cities can optimize the layout and supply patterns of mental health resources according to their specific configurational characteristics and local conditions, and explore context-specific pathways to enhance the overall performance of the provincial mental health service system.
