This study was initiated due to a critical need to explore the inadequately addressed quality of mental health policies for youth in China. With increasing concerns over the mental health of young people, it is imperative to assess the strengths and weaknesses of these policies to suggest significant improvements.
Employing ROSTCM 6.0 text mining and ATLAS.ti qualitative analysis software, we developed a quality assessment framework based on the Policy Modelling Consistency (PMC) index model. This framework comprises 9 primary and 44 secondary variables, allowing policies to be classified into different levels based on PMC scores, facilitating detailed evaluation of each policy. The policies selected for this study span the period from 2012 to 2023.
Our comprehensive review began with 937 documents, eventually narrowed down to 21 key policy texts following a meticulous three-stage screening process. The results indicated a predominance of high-quality policies. The policies demonstrated strengths in areas such as comprehensiveness, inclusiveness, and the breadth of objectives. However, notable weaknesses were observed in aspects like inter-organizational cooperation, responsiveness, and the efficiency of information-gathering tools.
The study concludes that enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration, expediting policy response times, and refining tools for information collection can significantly improve the impact and timeliness of interventions for youth mental health in China.
本研究的开展是因为迫切需要探讨中国针对青少年心理健康政策中未得到充分关注的质量问题。随着对青少年心理健康的关注度不断提高，评估这些政策的优势与不足，以提出重大改进建议势在必行。
我们运用ROSTCM 6.0文本挖掘和ATLAS.ti定性分析软件，基于政策建模一致性（PMC）指数模型开发了一个质量评估框架。该框架包含9个一级变量和44个二级变量，可根据PMC得分将政策划分为不同等级，便于对每项政策进行详细评估。本研究选取的政策涵盖2012年至2023年期间。
我们的全面审查始于937份文件，经过细致的三阶段筛选过程，最终确定了21份关键政策文本。结果显示高质量政策占主导。这些政策在全面性、包容性和目标广度等方面表现出优势。然而，在组织间合作、响应能力和信息收集工具的效率等方面存在明显不足。
该研究得出结论，加强跨部门合作、加快政策响应速度以及完善信息收集工具，可显著提高中国青少年心理健康干预措施的效果和及时性。
