Paediatricians are increasingly likely to encounter children and young people with mental health difficulties, either as primary presentations or as comorbidities linked with chronic illnesses. However, paediatricians may have limited training or experience regarding the tools available to identify mental health needs and how to use these tools. The current paper aims to provide a go-to guide for paediatricians when considering the use of mental health and well-being outcome measures, including how to select, administer and interpret measures effectively. It also provides practical guidance on the most common mental health outcome measures used in children and young people's mental health services across the UK and elsewhere, which paediatricians are likely to encounter in their practice. Paediatricians may also find these measures useful in their own practice to screen for potential mental health difficulties, monitor the impact of chronic health conditions on a young person's mental health and well-being, or to provide evidence when referring young people to mental health services.
儿科医生越来越多地遇到有心理健康问题的儿童和青少年，这些问题要么是主要症状，要么是与慢性病相关的合并症。然而，儿科医生在识别心理健康需求的可用工具以及如何使用这些工具方面可能培训有限或经验不足。本文旨在为儿科医生在考虑使用心理健康和幸福感评估指标时提供一份实用指南，包括如何有效选择、实施和解读这些指标。它还就英国及其他地区儿童和青少年心理健康服务中最常用的心理健康评估指标提供了实用指导，儿科医生在实践中可能会遇到这些指标。儿科医生可能还会发现这些指标在他们自己的实践中很有用，可用于筛查潜在的心理健康问题，监测慢性健康状况对年轻人心理健康和幸福感的影响，或者在将年轻人转介到心理健康服务机构时提供证据。
