Towards an evidence-based and equitable mental health system for children in Australia

澳大利亚儿童的心理健康问题很常见，并与不良的短期和长期结果有关。包括药物和心理干预在内的治疗可以改善这些结果，但只有50%的澳大利亚儿童有心理健康问题。我们将量化与治疗使用相关的儿童，家庭，临床医生和医疗保健系统因素，并为临床医生和政策制定者提供路线图，以改善澳大利亚儿童的可及性。

Mental health problems in Australian children are common and associated with adverse short and long term outcomes. Treatments including medication and psychological interventions can improve these outcomes but only 50% of Australian children with mental health problems receive them. We will quantify child, family, clinician and health care system factors associated with treatment use and provide a roadmap for clinicians and policy makers to improve access for Australian children.
