AIM
To compare rates of vocational engagement for youth entering specialist mental health treatment with the general population.
METHODS
A file audit retrieved vocational data for 145 youth aged 15 to 25 entering treatment. Clinical and population data were stratified by age and sex and compared between cohorts.
RESULTS
Compared to the population, young people entering mental health treatment were less likely to have completed at least Year 11 in school (77% vs 42%, P < 0.001); and demonstrated higher rates of "Not in Education, Employment or Training" (9% vs 33%, P < 0.001). Individuals aged 15 to 18 years entering treatment experienced greater rates of educational disengagement than the population (30% vs 11%, P < 0.001), whereas people aged 19 to 25 years showed higher unemployment rates (52% vs 35%, P = 0.003).
CONCLUSIONS
Youth entering specialist mental health treatment have marked levels of vocational disengagement compared to demographically-matched peers. Early vocational intervention for these young people is essential.
目的
比较进入专业精神卫生治疗的青年与普通人群的职业参与率。
方法
通过档案审核，为 145 名 15 至 25 岁接受治疗的青年获取职业数据。按年龄和性别对临床和人口数据进行分层，并比较队列之间的差异。
结果
与普通人群相比，进入精神卫生治疗的年轻人完成至少 11 年级学业的比例较低（77% vs 42%，P<0.001）；且“未接受教育、就业或培训”的比例较高（9% vs 33%，P<0.001）。接受治疗的 15 至 18 岁青少年的教育脱离率高于普通人群（30% vs 11%，P<0.001），而 19 至 25 岁的人失业率较高（52% vs 35%，P=0.003）。
结论
与人口统计学匹配的同龄人相比，进入专业精神卫生治疗的青年职业脱离程度明显。这些年轻人早期的职业干预至关重要。
