This study was undertaken to evaluate a service for sleep clinics over a time span of 2 years. The service was operated jointly by health visitors and clinical psychologists and based on a previous model run by the same team of psychologists and child development advisors. The outcome was not supportive of this type of service in terms of referral rates over a period of time, improvement rate, continued existence or cost-effectiveness of such a service. The reasons for the difficulties of such clinics are discussed.
本研究旨在评估一项为期2年的睡眠诊所服务。该服务由健康访视员和临床心理学家联合开展，基于同一组心理学家和儿童发展顾问之前运行的模式。从一段时间内的转诊率、改善率、持续运营情况或该服务的成本效益来看，结果并不支持这种类型的服务。文中讨论了此类诊所面临困难的原因。
