ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We describe a research program to advance youth mental health service research in Australia, addressing two core knowledge gaps the lack of available routine outcome measures and lack of understanding of how to assess and monitor complexity and heterogeneity in illness presentation and trajectory.CONCLUSIONS:
Our research identifies better routine outcome measures (ROM) that are designed specifically for the developmental nuances of the 12-25-year age range; multidimensional; and meaningful to young people, their carers, and service providers. Alongside much-needed new measures of complexity and heterogeneity, these tools will inform service providers to better meet the needs of young people presenting with mental health problems.Key words
