This study aimed to examine the relationship between school mental health service use in high school and educational outcomes of adolescents with psychiatric disorders. The sample included 2617 adolescents who were enrolled in eighth grade in a large urban school district in the United States, were enrolled in Medicaid during eighth grade, and had a mental health diagnosis. Psychiatric hospitalization, school enrollment, school absences, out-of-school suspensions, school dropouts, and school exits for negative reasons were examined as mental health and educational outcomes. Compared with adolescents who used school mental health services for 2 years following eighth grade, adolescents who did not use school mental health service during the high school years had a significantly lower annual number of days enrolled in school and higher rates of exiting school for negative reasons such as school dropout and long-term hospitalization. Our findings support the positive role of school mental health care delivery in high schools in preventing negative educational outcomes for adolescents with psychiatric disorder.

高中学校心理健康服务的使用与患有精神疾病的青少年的教育结果之间的关系。

本研究旨在探讨高中学校心理健康服务的使用与患有精神疾病的青少年的教育结果之间的关系。该样本包括 2617 名在美国一个大城市学区就读八年级的青少年，他们在八年级期间参加了医疗补助计划，并进行了心理健康诊断。精神病住院、入学、缺勤、校外停课、辍学和因消极原因退学都被视为心理健康和教育结果。与八年级后使用学校心理健康服务两年的青少年相比，高中期间未使用学校心理健康服务的青少年每年入学天数显着较低，并且因负面原因退学的比例较高例如辍学和长期住院。我们的研究结果支持高中学校心理保健服务在防止患有精神疾病的青少年出现负面教育结果方面发挥着积极作用。
