最近，专业和政治界越来越关注照料系统中的青年人所经历的问题的严重性和类型，这一群体在心理障碍方面是最脆弱的群体之一。他们患精神疾病的风险高于我们社会中任何其他容易识别的群体，1研究一直发现行为问题的发生率很高。[2]没有研究系统地研究地方当局照顾的青少年的精神障碍，因此我们的目的是评估护理系统中青少年精神障碍的患病率和类型，并将其与青少年对照组进行比较。
Recently, professional and political concern has grown about the severity and types of problems experienced by young people in the care system, this group being one of the most vulnerable in terms of psychological disturbance. Their risk of psychiatric ill health is higher than that of any other easily identified group in our society, 1 and studies have consistently identified a high incidence of behavioural problems. 2 No study has systematically examined the psychiatric disorders of adolescents being looked after by local authorities, so we aimed to assess the prevalence and types of psychiatric disorder among adolescents in the care system and compare them with those of a comparison group of adolescents.
