Abstract
Epidemiological information is needed for developing public policies to improve children’s mental health. In particular, epidemiological research could provide answers to questions such as 1) How many children in the community have mental health problems; 2) What is the distribution of mental health problems across age, sex, levels of socio-economic status, and neighbourhood disadvantage; 3) What is the information about mental health problems from different informants (parents, teachers, and the child); and 4) What is the developmental course of mental health problems in childhood (Costello & Angold, 2006)? Answers to such questions may assist policy-makers and clinicians in designing strategies for improving mental health in children.
