Annotation: Pathways to care for children with mental health problems

Article Abstract:

A pathways to care model is used to systematically review the literature relating to access to services like primary health care for mentally ill children. It is shown that as there are inequities in patterns of service use, there needs to be a greater emphasis on developing resources at population and primary care levels, and barriers involving parental perceptions and expression of concerns should be minimized through public education and improved training for service providers.
