Child and Youth Mental Disorders: Prevalence and Evidence-Based Interventions

June 17, 2014

Child and Youth Mental Disorders: Prevalence and Evidence-Based Interventions is a report that was prepared for the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development. It provides the latest research evidence on the prevalence of mental disorders in children and youth along with estimates of the number affected in BC and Canada. It also presents the latest research evidence on effective prevention and treatment interventions and makes recommendations for new public investments needed to improve child and youth mental health.

Charlotte Waddell, the lead author of the report and the Director of the Children’s Health Policy Centre, presented this evidence to BC’s Legislative Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth on June 11, 2014.
