Research methods in child psychiatry are derived from many disciplines--epidemiology, genetics, neurochemistry, pharmacology, electrophysiology, psychology, linguistics, and analytical chemistry--as well as several branches of medicine, particularly pediatrics, neurology, and psychiatry. The application of methods must be informed by the knowledge and concerns which emerge from the clinician's authentic clinical engagement with children and families. Research strategies require the definition of specific questions which can be addressed by discrete studies as well as the progressive integration of findings and perspectives. Systematic clinical investigations require institutional supports--opportunities and enticements for young investigators, long-term stability of research groups, and ease of collaboration and among specialists.
儿童精神病学的研究方法源自多个学科——流行病学、遗传学、神经化学、药理学、电生理学、心理学、语言学和分析化学——以及医学的几个分支，特别是儿科学、神经病学和精神病学。方法的应用必须基于临床医生与儿童及其家庭进行真实临床接触时所产生的知识和关注点。研究策略需要明确特定的问题，这些问题可以通过离散的研究来解决，同时也需要对研究结果和观点进行逐步整合。系统的临床研究需要机构支持——为年轻研究人员提供机会和激励，研究团队的长期稳定性，以及专家之间易于合作。
