国家儿童心理健康（MH）系统的能力，以促进其系统中的青少年向成年过渡进行了研究，通过采访国家心理健康计划主任（NASMHPD）的全国协会的儿童，青年和家庭司的成员。结果表明，在国家儿童MH系统的过渡服务是稀疏的，全国性的服务的连续性，因为一般单独的儿童和成人MH系统，每个单独的政策，定义谁访问这些服务，缺乏清晰的程序，以获得成人MH服务，并缺乏成人和儿童MH系统之间的共享客户端规划的青年年龄到成年受到阻碍。这些研究结果表明，在国家儿童卫生系统的青少年有困难获得服务，这将有助于他们学习作为一个成年人的艰巨任务。公共卫生保健系统应检查其提供过渡支持的能力，并作出必要的改进。
The ability of state child mental health (MH) systems to facilitate the transition to adulthood of adolescents in their systems was studied by interviewing members of the Children, Youth and Families Division of the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD). Results demonstrated that transition services within the state child MH systems are sparse, nationally Continuity of services as youth age into adulthood is hampered because of generally separate child and adult MH systems, each with separate policies defining who accesses those services, lack of clarity about procedures to access adult MH services, and lack of shared client planning between adult and child MH systems. These findings suggest that adolescents in state child MH systems have difficulty accessing services that will help them with the difficult task of learning to function as an adult. Public MH systems should examine their capacity to provide transition supports and make needed improvements.
