Improved access to specialised addiction treatment for children and young adults
Mapping review
|Updated
A systematic reference list.
Key message
The Knowledge Centre was commissioned by the Oslo University Hospital to conduct a systematic literature search of systematic reviews about the effects of improved access to specialist mental health care for children, youths and young adults.
Methods
We conducted a systematic literature search in several databases. The search was completed in November 2015. Potentially relevant references were thematically listed.
Results
We found eight references to potentially relevant systematic reviews. The themes in the reviews were:
• Referral
• Crisis team
• Integrating primary and specialist care
• Early intervention
• Stepped care
All eight references were publications from 2010 to 2015. One of the reviews was a Cochrane review.
We have not read the full text nor critically appraised the quality of the reviews. Therefore we cannot draw any conclusions regarding the review's results. Some of the references may not be truly systematically performed. The available abstracts are presented.
