“…It seems to apply to arts, sports, and most professional activities. The various papers in this issue [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] of ECAP offer a perspective on how our trainees in Europe as well as other parts of the world spend their 10,000 h. They offer an overview of differences and similarities in length and content of training, but also on how we guide our trainees through their personal and professional development and help them spend those 10.000 h in the most productive and fruitful way to prepare to attend to children's mental health needs in the future.…”

IMPORTANCEMajor depression and substance use disorders (SUD) commonly co-occur among adolescents, yet little is known about treatment use among adolescents with both conditions. Given the reciprocal influence of these conditions on each other and low prevalence of treatment overall, current information on quantification and trends in treatment of co-occurring depression and SUD is critical toward assessing how the field is performing in reaching youth in need of these services, and among youth with sociodemographic risk factors. OBJECTIVE To examine temporal trends and sociodemographic disparities in the treatment of co-occurring major depression and SUD among US adolescents. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This survey study used publicly available data for adolescents aged 12 to 17 years from the annual cross-sectional surveys of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2011 to 2019 to assess co-occurrence of major depressive episodes (MDE) and SUD through time and prevalence of treatment for either or both of these conditions. Data were analyzed between October 2020 and February 2021. EXPOSURES Survey years, adolescent age, gender, race and ethnicity, type of insurance, annual household income, family structure, and residential stability. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Presence and treatment of co-occurring 12-month MDE and SUD.

About 20% of children in the United States (US) have a diagnosed mental health disorder; half of them did not receive treatment from a mental health professional pre-pandemic [1]. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing mental health burden and healthcare disparities [2]. Improving pediatric mental health outcomes positively impacts educational and judicial systems, family functioning, and future employment, and decreases caregiving costs [3]. But access to care has been partly limited by the workforce shortage in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP). We describe some possible solutions to this workforce shortage including introducing innovative shortened training pathways and tapping global trends in CAP training that efficiently address population needs.About 8300 physicians practice CAP in the US [4]; their distribution is skewed. Massachusetts has as many child and adolescent psychiatrists as Oklahoma, Indiana, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee combined, though 5 times as
