Non-attendance of families is a common problem in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). We report on the development and pilot evaluation of a pre-intake intervention designed to enhance initial engagement at inner-city CAMHS in London, UK. Families receiving the intervention (N = 107) were significantly less likely to miss first appointments compared with contemporaneous (N = 62) or historical (N = 163) control groups. The intervention had similar effects for white and minority ethnic families, and for those from the most and least deprived parts of the locality. Recommendations are made for routine provision of empirically-supported engagement strategies, informed by consultations with service users and providers.
家庭不参与是儿童和青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）中的一个常见问题。我们报告了一项 intake 前干预措施的开发和试点评估情况，该干预措施旨在提高英国伦敦市中心 CAMHS 的首次参与度。与同期对照组（N = 62）或历史对照组（N = 163）相比，接受干预的家庭（N = 107）错过首次预约的可能性显著降低。该干预措施对白人家庭和少数族裔家庭，以及对当地最贫困和最不贫困地区的家庭都有类似效果。基于与服务使用者和提供者的协商，我们提出了常规提供经验支持的参与策略的建议。
