The integration of mental health and pediatric health care services has long been a goal for both research and practice. With the advent of federal policies developed to mandate clinical efficiency across the health care spectrum, this issue is becoming more salient. Applied literature on this topic is only recently emerging, however, and there are limited contextual examples to guide program development, research, and refinement. This article presents background information relevant to the development of such a program (the Center for Advancement of Youth). The cultural and organizational contexts for the project are discussed, with particular emphasis on models for cooperation among several institutions of varying size and scope. The implications for the future of tangible research in this area are also discussed, with attention to extending lessons learned to diverse settings motivated to integrate various aspects of health care service provision.
长期以来，心理健康与儿科医疗服务的整合一直是研究和实践的目标。随着旨在强制提高整个医疗保健领域临床效率的联邦政策的出台，这个问题变得更加突出。然而，关于这个主题的应用文献最近才出现，可供指导项目开发、研究和完善的实际案例有限。本文介绍了与这样一个项目（青少年发展中心）开发相关的背景信息。讨论了该项目的文化和组织背景，特别强调了不同规模和范围的多个机构之间的合作模式。还讨论了该领域切实可行的研究对未来的影响，同时关注将吸取的经验教训推广到有意愿整合医疗服务提供各方面的不同环境中。
