Child and adolescent mental disorders: the magnitude of the problem across the globe / Myron L. BELFER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49-3 (March 2008)

Titre : Child and adolescent mental disorders: the magnitude of the problem across the globe Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Myron L. BELFER, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.226-236 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Burden epidemiology international mental-health public-health service-development social-policy Third-World-children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective: Describe objectively the global gaps in policy, data gathering capacity, and resources to develop and implement services to support child mental health.
Methods: Report on the World health Organization (WHO) child and adolescent mental health resources Atlas project. The Atlas project utilized key informants and was supplemented by studies that focused on policy. This report also draws on current epidemiological studies to provide a context for understanding the magnitude of the clinical problem.
Results: Current global epidemiological data consistently reports that up to 20% of children and adolescents suffer from a disabling mental illness; that suicide is the third leading cause of death among adolescents; and that up to 50% of all adult mental disorders have their onset in adolescence. While epidemiological data appears relatively uniform globally, the same is not true for policy and resources for care. The gaps in resources for child mental health can be categorized as follows: economic, manpower, training, services and policy. Key findings from the Atlas project include: lack of program development in low income countries; lack of any policy in low income countries and absent specific comprehensive policy in both low and high income countries; lack of data gathering capacity including that for country-level epidemiology and services outcomes; failure to provide social services in low income countries; lack of a continuum of care; and universal barriers to access. Further, the Atlas findings underscored the need for a critical analysis of the ‘burden of disease’ as it relates to the context of child and adolescent mental disorders, and the importance of defining the degree of ‘impairment’ of specific disorders in different cultures.
Conclusions: The recent finding of substantial gaps in resources for child mental health underscores the need for enhanced data gathering, refinement of the economic argument for care, and need for innovative training approaches.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2007.01855.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=336

Titre : Treated prevalence of and mental health services received by children and adolescents in 42 low-and-middle-income countries Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jodi MORRIS, Auteur ; Myron L. BELFER, Auteur ; Amy M. DANIELS, Auteur ; Alan J. FLISHER, Auteur ; Liesbet VILLE, Auteur ; Antonio LORA, Auteur ; Shekhar SAXENA, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1239-1246 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mental health services access treated prevalence low- and middle-income countries Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Little is known about the treated prevalence and services received by children and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LAMICs). The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics and capacity of mental health services for children and adolescents in 42 LAMICs.
Methods: The World Health Organization Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems (WHO-AIMS), a 155-indicator instrument developed to assess key components of mental health service systems, was used to describe mental health services in 13 low, 24 lower-middle, and 5 upper-middle-income countries. Child and adolescent service indicators used in the analysis were drawn from Domains 2 (mental health services), 4 (human resources), and 5 (links with other sectors) of the WHO-AIMS instrument.
Results: The median one-year treated prevalence for children and adolescents is 159 per 100,000 population compared to a treated prevalence of 664 per 100,000 for the adult population. Children and adolescents make up 12% of the patient population in mental health outpatient facilities and less than 6% in all other types of mental health facilities. Less than 1% of beds in inpatient facilities are reserved for children and adolescents. Training provided for mental health professionals on child and adolescent mental health is minimal, with less than 1% receiving refresher training. Most countries (76%) organize educational campaigns on child and adolescent mental health.
Conclusions: Mental health services for children and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries are extremely scarce and greatly limit access to appropriate care. Scaling up of services resources will be necessary in order to meet the objectives of the WHO Mental Health Gap Action (mhGAP) program which identifies increased services for the treatment of child mental disorders as a priority.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2011.02409.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=146
