这些方案减少了接受服务的障碍，例如提供服务，而不管是否有能力支付护理费用。校本课程面临的一个重要问题是资金的可持续性。随着越来越少的项目完全通过州政府和卫生部门提供的赠款和“开拓”资金来资助，这个问题变得更加紧迫。对儿童心理健康项目的成本效益和成本进行评估的评估，以及其他描述资助学校健康的方法的报告，为评估者提供了有价值的指导。关于学校心理健康服务有效性的初步研究主要评估治疗质量和结果，但忽视了对护理成本的研究。以学校为基础的心理健康服务的成本研究，需要记录这些方案的成本效益相比，其他类型的心理健康护理。如果较低的成本与学校为基础的心理健康服务有关，那么这些信息可能有助于为这些项目提供持续和增加的资金，这些项目在护理系统中发挥着至关重要的作用。
These programs reduce barriers to receiving services, such as offering access regardless of ability to pay for care. One important issue facing school-based programs involves sustainability of funding. This issue becomes more pressing as fewer programs are funded solely through grants and “carve-out’’funds supplied by state governments and health departments.Evaluations reviewing cost-effectiveness and costs for children’s mental health programs,’--’and other reports describing ways to finance school health provide valuable guidance for evaluators. Initial studies on the effectiveness of school mental health services primarily assessed treatment quality and outcomes, but neglected examining costs of care. Studies on costs of school-based mental health services are needed to document the costeffectiveness of these programs in comparison to other types of mental health care. If lower costs are associated with school-based mental health services, then this information might prove useful in arguing for sustaining and increasing funds for these programs, which play a vital role in the system of care for
