本研究探讨青少年对专业精神卫生服务的满意度与青少年症状和功能变化的关系。临床功能的变化进行了前瞻性评估的基础上，家长，青年和采访报告的369名青少年（9至18岁的研究进入）接受心理健康服务。在两年随访时评估满意度。结果表明，满意度与临床变化的相关性很小，并且仅在年轻人报告的临床变化的情况下。父母和采访者报告的变化与消费者满意度无关。这些结果表明，消费者满意度不是改变临床功能的治疗有效性的良好指标。
This study examined how youth-reported satisfaction with specialty mental health services was associated with youths' symptom and functioning change. Change in clinical functioning was assessed prospectively on the basis of parent, youth, and interviewer report for 369 youths (aged nine to 18 years at study entry) receiving mental health services. Satisfaction was assessed at two-year follow-up. The results indicated that satisfaction was only minimally associated with clinical change, and only in the case of youth-reported clinical change. Parent- and interviewer-reported change were not associated with consumer satisfaction. These results suggest that consumer satisfaction is not a good indicator of effectiveness of treatment in changing clinical functioning.
