未满足的行为健康护理需求是一个严重的问题，交叉青年，或那些同时涉及儿童福利和少年司法系统。虽然很大比例的交叉青年严重的情绪困扰，相对较少的接受必要的行为健康服务很少有研究探讨了机构间合作，促进行为健康服务的交叉青年访问的作用。这项研究检查了当地儿童福利和少年司法机构管辖权，共享信息系统和整体连通性之间合作的三个维度的关联，以及接受行为健康服务的青少年几率数据来自全国儿童和青少年健康调查，对参与儿童福利系统的家庭进行的一项全国性调查有一个单一的机构负责青少年护理，增加了青少年接受门诊和住院行为健康服务。机构间共享行政数据增加了住院行为健康服务的年轻人的机会。澄清机构的责任和跨部门的数据库链接可能会改善儿童福利和少年司法系统所涉及的青年的服务获取（C）2010 Elsevier Ltd
Unmet need for behavioral health care is a serious problem for crossover youth, or those simultaneously involved with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Although a large percentage of crossover youth are serious emotionally disturbed, relatively few receive necessary behavioral health services Few studies have examined the role of inter-agency collaboration in facilitating behavioral health service access for crossover youth. This study examined associations for three dimensions of collaboration between local child welfare and juvenile justice agencies jurisdiction, shared information systems, and overall connectivity and youths odds of receiving behavioral health services Data were drawn from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, a national survey of families engaged with the child welfare system Having a single agency accountable for youth care increased youth odds of receiving outpatient and inpatient behavioral health services. Inter-agency sharing of administrative data increased youth odds of inpatient behavioral health service receipt. Clarifying agency accountability and linking databases across sectors may improve service access for youth involved with both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
