METHOD
A third of the children from the 1999 British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey were followed up over 3 years. Parents provided summary information on service contacts for emotional, behavioural and concentration difficulties, with more detailed information being obtained by telephone interview for selected subgroups.
RESULTS
Having a psychiatric disorder predicted substantially increased contact with social services, special educational needs resources, the youth justice system and mental health services (district CAMHS and tier four, but not tier two). Of those children with psychiatric disorders, 58% had been in contact with at least one of these services for help with emotional, behavioural or concentration difficulties, including 23% who had been in contact with mental health services.
CONCLUSIONS
British children attend a wide variety of services for help with emotional, behavioural and concentration difficulties. The proportion seeing specialist mental health services is higher than that generally reported in the research literature.
方法
对1999年英国儿童与青少年心理健康调查中三分之一的儿童进行了为期3年的随访。家长提供了有关情绪、行为和注意力问题的服务接触的简要信息，对于选定的亚组，通过电话访谈获取了更详细的信息。
结果
患有精神疾病预示着与社会服务、特殊教育需求资源、青少年司法系统和心理健康服务（地区儿童与青少年心理健康服务以及四级服务，但不包括二级服务）的接触大幅增加。在患有精神疾病的儿童中，58%曾与这些服务中的至少一项接触，以寻求情绪、行为或注意力问题方面的帮助，其中23%曾与心理健康服务接触。
结论
英国儿童为寻求情绪、行为和注意力问题方面的帮助而接受各种各样的服务。接受专业心理健康服务的比例高于研究文献中通常报告的比例。
