Presidential Address: Investing in Children to Address the Child Mental Health Crisis
驳斥了关于儿童心理健康危机的三个常见误解，指出危机已存在数十年，青少年自杀受枪支立法等外部因素影响，且投资儿童能有效改善心理健康并预防自杀。
The child mental health crisis has been described as the “defining public health crisis of our time.” This article addresses three myths about the crisis: (i) the idea that the crisis is new; (ii) the belief that increases in youth suicide mainly reflect deterioration in children’s underlying mental health; and (iii) the myth that investments in children have little impact on children’s mental health. In fact, the crisis has existed for decades, youth suicides vary asynchronously with other mental health measures and are impacted by external factors such as firearms legislation, and investments can improve child mental health and prevent suicide.
