The mothers of 46 children who had been assessed by staff from a child mental health service were interviewed about the process by which they had come to be referred. The sequence of contacts with agencies was described and children coming via different pathways compared. Contacts with school teaching staff, and general practitioners were commonly part of the pathway, and health visitors were an important group of carers for younger children. When children had had contact with general practitioners and health visitors they were likely to be referred directly to the mental health service, but school staff had mostly sought help from other agencies.
一家儿童心理健康服务机构的工作人员对46名儿童的母亲进行了访谈,询问她们孩子的转诊过程。她们描述了与各机构的接触顺序,并对通过不同途径前来就诊的儿童进行了比较。与学校教师和全科医生的接触通常是转诊过程的一部分,健康访视员是年幼儿童的重要护理人员群体。当儿童与全科医生和健康访视员接触后,他们很可能会被直接转介到心理健康服务机构,但学校工作人员大多会向其他机构寻求帮助。
