Youth living in Rural America have increased rates of mental illness and inadequate resources to address their mental health concerns. Programs and systems are currently available to build capacity in pediatric clinicians to care for youth with mental illness and to recruit and support rural clinicians. Such programs should continue to be supported with federal and state funding and additional novel programs aimed at addressing the youth mental health crisis in North America should be developed and funded.
美国农村地区的年轻人患有精神疾病的比率增加，而且缺乏足够的资源来解决他们的心理健康问题。目前有一些项目和系统可以为儿科临床医生提供能力建设，以照顾患有精神疾病的年轻人，并招募和支持农村临床医生。这些项目应继续得到联邦和州政府的资金支持，还应制定和资助新的项目，以解决北美年轻人的心理健康危机。
