This article reviews the existing research base for child mental health services and policy. It emphasizes the importance of research that looks at the overall community-based system of care as the unit of analysis, and stresses the need to maintain a systems perspective, even when research is focused on components of the overall system. The review concludes that there is a need for a considerable increase in child mental health services research but also indicates that there has been a recent increase in research that has the potential of building a base to change policy. In particular, a need is identified for well-controlled studies that assess both clinical and cost outcomes and for studies that examine the mega issues of the organization and financing of systems of care.
本文回顾了儿童心理健康服务与政策的现有研究基础。它强调了以整个社区护理系统为分析单位的研究的重要性，并强调即使研究聚焦于整个系统的组成部分，也需要保持系统视角。该综述得出结论，儿童心理健康服务研究需要大幅增加，但也表明最近有一些研究的增加有潜力为政策变革奠定基础。特别是，需要精心控制的研究来评估临床和成本结果，以及研究护理系统的组织和融资等重大问题的研究。
