Abstract

The problems in trying to carry out research in child psychiatry in-patient units are significant. Because there is a very low incidence of major psychiatric disorder within this age range the strategies used for the most part in adult services do not apply. This is compounded by the length of stay of children in in-patient units, again rather longer than adult services, leading to a low throughput and the slow accumulation of any series of patients.
