Abstract

Objective: This study examined associations between social determinants of health (SDoHs) and need for and access to psychiatric treatment for U.S. children.

Methods: Data were from the 2019 National Survey of Children's Health, a nationally representative parent-proxy survey of U.S. children. Parents (N=29,433) completed self-report surveys and indicated whether their children needed and received psychiatric treatment.

Results: In total, 3,425 children (12%) were reported to have an emotional, developmental, or behavioral problem for which they needed treatment or counseling. Additionally, 605 children (18% of those who indicated treatment needs) were reported to have not received psychiatric treatment in the past year. Several SDoHs were associated with greater need for treatment and lower likelihood of accessing treatment.

Conclusions: Findings highlight the need for greater attention to social and systemic influences on children's mental health. Addressing social determinants may be beneficial in improving mental health and facilitating access to treatment.

儿童精神障碍的社会决定因素和治疗:来自全国儿童健康调查的数据分析。

目的:本研究考察了美国儿童健康的社会决定因素(SDoHs)与精神治疗需求和可及性之间的关系。方法:数据来自2019年全国儿童健康调查，这是一项具有全国代表性的美国儿童家长代理调查。父母(N=29,433)完成自我报告调查，并表明他们的孩子是否需要和接受精神治疗。结果:总共有3425名儿童(12%)被报告有情感、发育或行为问题，他们需要治疗或咨询。此外，据报道，605名儿童(占有治疗需求的儿童的18%)在过去一年中没有接受过精神病治疗。一些sdoh与更大的治疗需求和更低的获得治疗的可能性有关。结论:研究结果强调需要更多地关注社会和系统对儿童心理健康的影响。解决社会决定因素可能有利于改善精神健康和促进获得治疗。
