This paper describes the introduction of mental health screening for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in a National Health Service (NHS) outpatient clinic in central London. This follows the results of a two-year retrospective analysis of the health needs of the population in our clinic, which identified a high incidence of disturbance to mood and sleep. We describe the selection process for a culturally appropriate and validated screening tool, piloting the Refugee Health Screener (RHS) tool with 20 UASC in clinic, and using preliminary findings to inform a more targeted referral to community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). We conclude that implementation of the RHS-13 is feasible for widespread mental health screening for UASC in an NHS setting, and provide suggestions for future research directions within this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":74493,"journal":{"name":"Primary health care research & development","volume":"26 ","pages":"e37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12037346/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143994117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
