A new measure, Continuity of Care in Children's Mental Health (C3MH), is presented. The study involved item generation, pre-testing, pilot testing, and validation. The C3MH was administered to 364 parents recruited from 13 children's mental health agencies in Ontario, Canada. The measure includes five scales supported by confirmatory factor analysis. Scale validity was supported through analyses of relationships with established measures of satisfaction, problem severity, and therapeutic alliance, as well as through known-group differences. The results of a pilot youth-report version (N = 57) are presented. The C3MH will be a useful tool for assessing improvements in system integration.
本文介绍了一项新的测量方法——儿童心理健康护理连续性（C3MH）。该研究包括项目生成、预测试、试点测试和验证。C3MH应用于从加拿大安大略省13家儿童心理健康机构招募的364名家长。该测量方法包括五个由验证性因素分析支持的量表。通过分析与既定的满意度、问题严重程度和治疗联盟测量方法之间的关系，以及通过已知群体差异，支持了量表的有效性。文中还呈现了青少年报告版本（N = 57）的试点结果。C3MH将成为评估系统整合改进情况的有用工具。
