Abstract

Background: Many child and youth mental health (CYMH) agencies across Canada and in Ontario are using mental health walk-in clinics (MHWCs).

Objectives: (1) Explore how MHWCs are used by families (e.g. mean, mode, and median number of visits), and (2) document how often and how soon families returned for a second MHWC visit and identify correlates of time to a second MHWC visit.

Design: Administrative data from two CYMH agencies in Ontario were extracted, including demographics, visit data, and presenting concerns.

Methods: In this exploratory, descriptive study, analyses of administrative data were conducted to identify patterns and correlates of MHWC use before other agency services, compared to MHWC use exclusively.

Results: About a third of children and families using MHWCs had two or more visits. Child age, guardianship, and disposition at discharge emerged as correlates of time to a second MHWC visit.

Conclusion: MHWCs can save families' time, and both agencies' time and money by eliminating the need to complete a detailed assessment prior to treatment for cases that would go on to have a single visit within this service.

访问和重新访问儿童和家庭的心理健康预约诊所。
背景:加拿大和安大略省的许多儿童和青少年心理健康(CYMH)机构都在使用心理健康预约诊所(MHWC)。目的:(1)探索家庭如何使用MHWC(例如就诊的平均值、模式和中位数),以及(2)记录家庭第二次就诊的频率和时间,并确定与第二次访问的时间相关性。设计:从安大略省的两个CYMH机构提取行政数据,包括人口统计、访问数据和提出的问题。方法:在这项探索性的描述性研究中,对行政数据进行分析,以确定在其他机构服务之前使用MHWC的模式和相关性,并与仅使用MHWC进行比较。结果:大约三分之一使用MHWC的儿童和家庭有两次或两次以上的就诊。儿童年龄、监护权和出院时的性格与第二次MHWC就诊的时间相关。结论:MHWC可以节省家庭的时间,也可以节省两个机构的时间和金钱,因为无需在治疗之前完成详细的评估,这些病例将在该服务中进行一次就诊。
