校内健康中心 (SBHC) 在改善青少年心理健康问题的认识和治疗方面具有巨大潜力。这项研究是一项质量改进项目，旨在评估青少年 (PSC-Y) 在 SBHC 就诊的 383 名青少年中填写的儿科症状检查表的效用。以及识别心理社会功能障碍和转介心理健康服务在多大程度上改善了学术功能。与未识别的青少年相比，PSC-Y 识别的青少年更有可能获得医疗补助、成为青少年父母、缺勤和迟到率更高。被转介到心理健康服务机构的 PSC-Y 青少年的缺勤和迟到率显着降低。研究结果为 SBHC 环境中心理社会筛查和转诊的效用提供了支持，以促进青少年心理健康问题的识别和治疗以及改善学生的学业功能。
School-based health centers (SBHC) have substantial potential to improve the recognition and treatment of adolescents' mental health problems. This study was undertaken as a quality improvement project to evaluate utility of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist when completed by youth (PSC-Y) among 383 adolescents seen at a SBHC. and the extent to which identification of psychosocial dysfunction and referral to mental health services improved academic functioning. Adolescents identified by the PSC-Y were significantly more likely to be insured by Medicaid, be a teen-age parent and to have higher rates of absenteeism and tardiness in comparison to those not identified. Adolescents identified with the PSC-Y who were referred to mental health services significantly decreased their rates of absences and tardiness. Study results provide support for the utility of psychosocial screening and referral in the SBHC environment in facilitating recognition and treatment of adolescent mental health problems and improving student academic functioning.
