背景：研究表明，治疗结果的常规测量是精神卫生保健机构中临床实践中被忽视的领域。目前尚不清楚这些发现在多大程度上适用于儿童和青少年心理健康服务 (CAMHS)。英国 CAMHS 的一项横断面调查显示，尽管定量临床测量在这些服务中普遍使用，但所使用的工具几乎没有统一性，而且很少为常规结果测量系统提供信息。然而，总体而言，受访者并没有从哲学或科学角度反对定期衡量结果的做法，而是认为他们缺乏必要的资源来促进此类举措。
BACKGROUND: Research suggests that the routine measurement of treatment outcomes is a neglected area of clinical practice within mental health care settings. Still it is not clear to what extent such findings apply to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). A cross-sectional survey of UK CAMHS revealed that although quantitative clinical measures are commonly used within these services, there is little uniformity in the instruments utilised, and they rarely inform a system of routine outcome measurement. However, in general, respondents did not have a philosophical or scientific objection to the practice of routinely measuring outcomes, but rather felt that they lacked the necessary resources to facilitate such initiatives.
