客观化
尽管据估计，严重的情绪障碍影响了美国9%至13%的儿童和青少年，但关于这一群体的特征的全国性数据很少。
方法
这项研究使用了2001年全国健康访谈调查(NHIS)中13,579名青年的数据来描述生活在美国的有严重情绪障碍的青年的社会人口学特征和保险覆盖范围。有严重情绪障碍的青少年是通过他们在强项和困难问卷上的分数来确定的，该问卷于2001年被添加到NHIS中。
结果
有严重情绪障碍的年轻人中，绝大多数是白人，他们的收入达到或超过贫困水平的200%。大约40%有严重情绪障碍的青少年有私人保险，而医疗补助和州儿童健康保险计划为大约三分之一有严重情绪障碍的青少年提供保险。
结论
虽然医疗补助是为有严重情绪困扰的青少年提供精神健康服务的重要付款人，但私人保险仍然是为有严重情绪困扰的青少年和整体青少年提供健康保险的主要来源。
OBJECTIVE
Although it is estimated that serious emotional disturbance affects 9 to 13 percent of children and adolescents in the United States, there are few national data on the characteristics of this group.
METHODS
This study used data for 13,579 youths from the 2001 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to describe the sociodemographic features and insurance coverage of youths with serious emotional disturbance living in the United States. Youths with serious emotional disturbance were identified through their scores on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, which was added to the NHIS in 2001.
RESULTS
A large majority of youths with serious emotional disturbance were white and had income at 200 percent of the poverty level or higher. About 40 percent of youths with serious emotional disturbance had private insurance coverage, whereas Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program provided coverage for about a third of youths with serious emotional disturbance.
CONCLUSIONS
Although Medicaid is an important payer of mental health services for youths with serious emotional disturbance, private insurance is still the primary source of health coverage for youths with serious emotional disturbance and for the overall population of youths.
