Book excerpt: The workshop summarized in this report was organized as part of a study sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with the goal of assisting SAMHSA in its responsibilities of expanding the collection of behavioral health data in several areas. The workshop brought together experts in child mental health, psychiatric epidemiology and survey methods to facilitate discussion of the most suitable measures and mechanisms for producing estimates of serious emotional disturbance in children, which are necessary to enable the distribution of block grants that support state-level mental health services for children. The report discusses existing measures and data on mental disorders and functional impairment, challenges associated with collecting these data in large-scale population-based studies, as well as study design and estimation options.

Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which was revised from DSM-IV to DSM-5 in 2013, provides the current criteria for measuring childhood mental health disorders. The Federal Register provides the definition of serious emotional disturbance (SED) based on DSM-III-R criteria. The purpose of this report is to describe the differences between the DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria that could affect national estimates of childhood SED, as defined in the Federal Register. METHOD: The report reviewed the wording and criteria related to childhood mental disorders under DSM-IV and DSM-5 and assessed the implications of the changes for generating estimates of SED and whether these revisions align with the Federal Register definition of SED. The report also described plans to integrate the DSM-5 changes into the leading diagnostic instruments for assessing childhood mental disorders. RESULTS: The DSM-5 changes raise issues relevant to the definition of SED and which disorders are included in SED. CONCLUSION: Decisions will need to be made about which disorders within the new DSM-5 are included under the SED definition, and the disorders excluded from SED will need to be identified and explicitly stated. The DSM-5 changes will also narrow the number of diagnostic measures to be considered for use in children's mental health surveillance efforts until diagnostic instruments are updated to explicitly use DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.

This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s display of unacceptable behavior in the school setting, school violence, academic underachievement, and school failure represent a cluster of problems that touches all aspects of society. Children with learning and behavior problems are much more likely to be un- ployed, exhibit significant emotional and behavior disorders in adulthood, as well as become incarcerated. For example, by adolescence, children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity D- order are more likely to be retained a grade, drop out of school, have contact with the law, or fair worse along a number of dimensions than their unaffected siblings (Barkely, 1998). Identification, assessment, and treatment of children with externalizing behavior problems and learningdisabilities is critical to optimizing development and prevention of relatively - tractable behavioral and emotional problems in adulthood. For example, poor interpersonal problem solving and social skills excesses and deficits are strongly associated with poor o- come in adolescence and adulthood. The school is where children learn essential academic, social, and impulse control skills that allow them to function effectively in later years. School is where problems in these areas can be most easily identified and addressed. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of assessment practices for evaluating children’s externalizing behavior problems exhibited in the school environment. Reviews of approximately 100 assessment devices for measuring children’s externalizing problems are included. Instruments include structured interviews, rating scales, and observational methods.
