The Role of Caregiver Strain and Other Family Variables in Determining Children’s Use of Mental Health Services
Abstract
This study used a prominent model of family stress and coping to examine whether caregiver and family variables predicted child mental health service utilization patterns, holding constant the child clinical and demographic variables.We were especially interested in the impact of caregiver strain on children's use of mental health services. We found caregiver strain to be associated with the combination of services used, sequencing of services, gaps in care, and cost of services. Other family variables that predicted children's service use included material resources, life events, and family functioning. Child clinical variables improved the explanatory power of the models considerably. When all other variables were included in the model, child's age was the only demographic variable that predicted service use patterns.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
