尽管人们对青少年获得心理健康 (MH) 服务的情况感到担忧，但人们对为这一人群提供服务的专业治疗基础设施知之甚少。我们使用国家数据来研究哪些类型的MH治疗设施（医院和社区）最有可能提供青少年服务以及哪些类型的社区最有可能拥有这种基础设施。较大的 (p < 0.001) 和私营 (p < 0.001) 设施更有可能提供青年服务。农村县、大多数居民为非白人的县和/或未参保居民比例较高的县不太可能拥有为青少年提供服务的社区 MH 治疗设施 (p < 0.001)。
Despite concern about access to mental health (MH) services for youth, little is known about the specialty treatment infrastructure serving this population. We used national data to examine which types of MH treatment facilities (hospital- and community-based) were most likely to offer youth services and which types of communities were most likely to have this infrastructure. Larger (p < 0.001) and privately owned (p < 0.001) facilities were more likely to offer youth services. Rural counties, counties in which a majority of residents were nonwhite, and/or counties with a higher percentage of uninsured residents were less likely to have a community-based MH treatment facility that served youth (p < 0.001).
