Abstract
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the established, albeit at times conceptual, standard of care, and understanding its ongoing operational evolution is critical to JAACAP readers. At the center of operationalizing the concept of EBM are the accurate tools for screening, diagnosis, and outcome measurement. Historically, these instruments relied on trained raters assessing the patient's signs and symptoms. The field has evolved over time to the perception that clinician-rated scales need to be complemented with patient- and parent-rated instruments, or patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). This development and its implications are considered from multiple perspectives.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
