人们对护理系统中儿童精神疾病的高发病率表示严重关切。 1-4 这种担忧是基于对被照顾和安置相当长一段时间的儿童的观察，例如，McCann 及其同事研究了平均被照顾 2.9 年的青少年中精神疾病的患病率。 2 然而，人们对儿童进入地方当局护理时的心理健康状况知之甚少。我们的目的是获取儿童在护理阶段的心理健康信息，以期规划早期干预计划。
Grave concern has been voiced about the high rate of psychiatric disorders among children in the care system. 1–4 This concern is based on observations of children who have been looked after and accommodated for a considerable length of time McCann and colleagues, for example, looked at the prevalence of mental illness in adolescents who had been in care on average for 2.9 years. 2 Little is known, however, about the mental health of children at the time they enter local authority care. We aimed to gain information about children's mental health at this stage of their care, with a view to planning an early intervention programme.
