Methodology of Young Minds Matter: The second Australian Child and Adolescent Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing

Conclusion:
Young Minds Matter provides updated national prevalence estimates of common child and adolescent mental disorders, describes patterns of service use and will help to guide future decisions in the development of policy and provision of mental health services for children and adolescents. Advancements in interviewing methodology, addition of a data linkage component and informed content development contributed to improved breadth and quality of the data collected.
