Research suggests that the routine measurement of treatment outcomes is a neglected area of clinical practice within mental health care settings. Still it is not clear to what extent such findings apply to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). A cross-sectional survey of UK CAMHS revealed that although quantitative clinical measures are commonly used within these services, there is little uniformity in the instruments utilised, and they rarely inform a system of routine outcome measurement. However, in general, respondents did not have a philosophical or scientific objection to the practice of routinely measuring outcomes, but rather felt that they lacked the necessary resources to facilitate such initiatives.
研究表明，治疗结果的常规测量是精神卫生保健机构临床实践中一个被忽视的领域。不过，这些研究结果在多大程度上适用于儿童和青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）尚不清楚。一项针对英国儿童和青少年心理健康服务的横断面调查显示，尽管这些服务中普遍使用定量临床测量方法，但所使用的工具几乎没有统一性，而且它们很少为常规结果测量系统提供信息。然而，总体而言，受访者对常规测量结果的做法并没有哲学或科学上的异议，而是觉得他们缺乏推动此类举措所需的资源。
