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 in relation to mental health; selected subgroups provided more detailed information by telephone interview.
Common overlaps in service use were between health services, between teachers and educational specialists, and between the latter and CAMHS or social services. Services other than primary health care saw more children with externalising disorders, while children with anxiety disorders were less likely than children with other psychiatric disorders to be in contact with any service.
Child mental health is everybody's business, and professionals need to be alert(ed) to the types of disorders that children using their service may have.
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。家长提供了与心理健康相关的服务接触的简要信息；选定的亚组通过电话访谈提供了更详细的信息。
服务使用中的常见重叠情况存在于卫生服务之间、教师与教育专家之间，以及后者与儿童与青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）或社会服务之间。除初级卫生保健外的其他服务机构接待了更多有外化障碍的儿童，而患有焦虑症的儿童与其他精神疾病儿童相比，与任何服务机构接触的可能性较小。
儿童心理健康是每个人的事，专业人员需要留意使用其服务的儿童可能患有的疾病类型。
