This editorial argues that research findings in child and adolescent psychopathology need to be contextualized with demographic information and location in order to help with interpretation of findings and implications for the services that are available and/or potentially effective. For developmental psychopathology and child and adolescent mental health treatment, the demographic information should include key factors known to influence etiology, treatment effectiveness and service availability. These factors include, but may not be limited to, sex and age, location including country (and city or urban area), socioeconomic class, culture and minoritized status. Including such information, in addition to helping us understand why findings might not generalize, can draw attention to the exclusion of certain groups from research and so drive attempts to increase the representativeness of research in child and adolescent mental health.

社论：将研究置于背景中——在儿童和青少年心理健康研究中应定期报告哪些参与者和研究特征？

这篇社论认为，儿童和青少年精神病理学的研究结果需要与人口统计信息和地点结合起来，以帮助解释研究结果以及对现有和/或可能有效的服务的影响。对于发展精神病理学以及儿童和青少年心理健康治疗，人口统计信息应包括已知的影响病因、治疗效果和服务可用性的关键因素。这些因素包括但可能不限于性别和年龄、地点（包括国家（和城市或城市地区））、社会经济阶层、文化和少数民族地位。包含这些信息，除了帮助我们理解为什么研究结果可能不具有普遍性之外，还可以引起人们对某些群体被排除在研究之外的关注，从而推动努力提高儿童和青少年心理健康研究的代表性。
