There has been a substantial increase in the number of students with mental health needs, yet significant discrepancies exist in access to timely intervention. Traditional gatekeeping to intervention has been the provenance of single information sources. Multi-informant decision-making is a promising mechanism to improve equitable access. However, critical advancements are necessary to improve decision-making relating to (a) who is identified, (b) what type of need is determined, (c) the type of intervention necessary, and (d) where or under what circumstances to implement the intervention. We review critical components of effective mental health decision-making, contributors to inequities in school mental health services, and offer future directions for research and practice to increase equitable student outcomes.

通过多种知情决策促进学校心理健康的公平性

有心理健康需求的学生人数大幅增加，但在获得及时干预方面存在显着差异。传统的干预把关一直是单一信息源的来源。多信息决策是改善公平获取的一种有前景的机制。然而，为了改善以下方面的决策是必要的：(a) 确定谁，(b) 确定什么类型的需求，(c) 必要的干预类型，以及 (d) 在何处或在什么情况下实施的干预。我们回顾了有效心理健康决策的关键组成部分、造成学校心理健康服务不平等的因素，并为提高公平的学生成绩提供了未来的研究和实践方向。
