The director, one other professional, and one para-professional in 515 community mental health centers and 193 state hospitals throughout the United States were asked to rate 57 critical issues in mental health services as to their importance now and five years from now. Issues judged most important now are services for children and for adolescents; five years from now children's services still top the list. Answers to two other questions revealed that respondents placed research on prevention at the top of a list of needed research areas, and that the most useful NIMH service to agencies was person-to-person assistance such as consultation and workshops.
美国各地515家社区心理健康中心和193家州立医院的主任、另一名专业人员以及一名辅助专业人员被要求对心理健康服务中的57个关键问题在当下及五年后的重要性进行评分。当下被判定为最重要的问题是儿童和青少年服务；五年后，儿童服务仍位居榜首。对另外两个问题的回答显示，受访者将预防研究列为所需研究领域之首，而且美国国立精神卫生研究所对各机构最有用的服务是诸如咨询和研讨会之类的人际协助。
