Published from 2003 as the Journal of Child & Adolescent Mental Health, the Journal aims to contribute towards the development of a robust and inclusive knowledge base for child and adolescent mental health across diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. To this end, the Journal seeks to promote coverage, representation and dissemination of high-quality international research that traverses high-, middle- and low-income contexts.
Papers from all disciplines addressing child and adolescent mental health are welcome and we encourage interdisciplinary perspectives. We also welcome research that has been co-produced with those with lived experience of using child and adolescent mental health services.
Journal of Child & Adolescent Mental Health publishes research with a focus on:
• Original research (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods)
• Meta-analyses and structured reviews
• Conceptual or theoretical perspectives
• Innovative methodological research
• Clinical perspectives (within an evidence-based framework)
• Book reviews
• Letters to the editor
