Conclusion: Successes Since the First Edition and Pressing Issues for the Future of Adolescent Mental and Behavioral Health
Keyword(s):
Despite improvements in the delivery of care for adolescent mental and behavioral conditions since the first edition of this book, many challenges remain. This concluding chapter highlights some of the most pressing issues. These include the need for more mental health care practitioners, a greater evidence base for the treatment of adolescent conditions, and more focus on reducing family poverty. Given the high rates of gun violence, including homicides and suicides, efforts are needed to reduce access to these weapons. Promising directions in research and the need for a national youth development strategy are also discussed.
