This paper reviews 18 surveys of mental health problems among homeless adolescents and reports on a pilot study of the same topic conducted in Amsterdam. Sampling methods and measures of mental health are discussed. The reported estimates of mental health problems vary greatly, very probably because of methodological differences. Despite the different methods used, there seems to be considerable research evidence to support a high prevalence of mental disorders among homeless adolescents. The results of the pilot study of 50 homeless adolescents in Amsterdam are consistent with the surveys reviewed. A highly structured interview was conducted at all four services sites for homeless adolescents in Amsterdam. Of the homeless adolescents interviewed, 78% had at least one lifetime DIS/DSM-III-R diagnosis, and 64% had at least one 1-month diagnosis.
本文回顾了18项关于无家可归青少年心理健康问题的调查，并报告了在阿姆斯特丹进行的同一主题的一项试点研究。讨论了心理健康的抽样方法和测量方法。所报告的心理健康问题估计数差异很大，很可能是由于方法上的差异。尽管使用了不同的方法，但似乎有大量研究证据支持无家可归青少年中精神障碍的高患病率。在阿姆斯特丹对50名无家可归青少年进行的试点研究结果与所回顾的调查一致。在阿姆斯特丹为无家可归青少年提供服务的所有四个地点都进行了高度结构化的访谈。在接受访谈的无家可归青少年中，78%至少有一次终生的DIS/DSM-III-R诊断，64%至少有一次1个月内的诊断。
