本数据观察探讨了人类服务部门（心理健康，教育，卫生，儿童福利和少年司法）在为儿童提供心理健康服务方面的作用。这些数据来自大烟山青年研究的第一波，这是一项以人口为基础的儿童精神病理学和精神卫生服务使用研究。结果显示，精神卫生服务的使用率比以前报告的要高，同时继续显示出大量未满足的需求，即使在患有精神病诊断和功能障碍的儿童中也是如此。研究结果指出，教育部门发挥着重要作用，表明学校可能是儿童和青少年事实上的心理健康系统。
This DataWatch explores the roles of human service sectors (mental health, education, health, child welfare, and juvenile justice) in providing mental health services for children. The data are from the first wave of the Great Smoky Mountains Study of Youth, a population-based study of psychopathology and mental health service use among children. The results show somewhat higher rates of mental health service use than has been reported previously, while continuing to show a substantial amount of unmet need, even among children with both a psychiatric diagnosis and functional impairment. The findings point to a significant role for the education sector, suggesting that schools may function as the de facto mental health system for children and adolescents.
