Children’s Mental Health Research Quarterly

The Quarterly provided summaries of the best available research evidence on a variety of children’s mental health topics, prepared using systematic review and synthesis methods adapted from the Cochrane Collaboration and Evidence-Based Mental Health. Our goal was to improve outcomes for children by informing policy and practice.
