OBJECTIVE: To compare the mental health care US children receive from primary care providers (PCPs) and other mental health care providers.METHODS: Using nationally representative data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) from 2008 to 2011, we determined whether children and youth aged 2 to 21 years with outpatient visits for mental health problems in the past year saw PCPs, psychiatrists, and/or psychologists/social workers for these conditions. We compared the proportion of children prescribed psychotropic medications by provider type. Using logistic regression, we examined associations of provider type seen and medication prescribing with race/ethnicity, household income, insurance status, geographical area, and language at home. RESULTS:One-third (34.8%) of children receiving outpatient care for mental health conditions saw PCPs only, 26.2% saw psychiatrists only, and 15.2% saw psychologists/social workers only. Nearly a quarter (23.8%) of children saw multiple providers. A greater proportion of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) versus children with anxiety/mood disorders saw a PCP only (41.8% vs 17.2%). PCPs prescribed medications to a higher percentage of children than did psychiatrists. Children seeing a PCP for ADHD were more likely to receive stimulants or a-agonists than children with ADHD seeing psychiatrists (73.7% vs 61.4%). We found only limited associations of sociodemographic characteristics with provider type or medication use.

RESUMOObjetivo: Construir e validar a Escala de Identificação de Sintomas Psicopatológicos em Escolares (EISPE). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico, realizado seguindo-se procedimentos teóricos: painel de juízes e estudo-piloto; experimentais, por meio de coleta com 201 crianças de seis a 12 anos; e estatísticos, com validação de construto testada por meio do Modelo Rasch e alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Na análise do painel de juízes quanto a clareza e representatividade, cinco itens foram excluídos e, após o teste-piloto, um item foi excluído, chegando a uma versão preliminar da EISPE de 23 itens, avaliando seis aspectos. O Modelo Rasch apresentou a EISPE como unidimensional, com a maior parte dos itens ajustados ao modelo, exceto quatro deles que apresentaram valores de correlação item-total abaixo de 0,2, e outros dois que apresentaram funcionamento diferencial conforme o sexo das crianças: A confiabilidade dos itens foi 0,97, e o valor do alfa de Cronbach, de 0,67. Conclusão: A versão preliminar da EISPE apresentou qualidades psicométricas satisfatórias, o que sugere que esta é confiável para identificar sintomas psicopatológicos relacionados a ansiedade, humor, condutas sociais, atenção/atividade motora, padrões alimentares e uso/abuso de substâncias psicoativas em crianças com idades entre seis e 12 anos. ABSTRACTObjective: To construct and validate the Scale for the Identification of Psychopathological Symptoms in Schoolchildren (SIPSS). Methods: This methodological study was based on the following theoretical procedures: panel of judges and pilot study; experimental procedures for collecting data from 201 children aged from six to 12 years old; statistical procedures including construction validation, tested using the Rasch model and Cronbach's alpha. Results: Analysis by the panel of judges resulted in the exclusion of five items. Another item was also discarded after the pilot test, resulting in a preliminary version with 23 items assessing six aspects. The Rasch model indicated that the SIPSS is a one-dimensional scale and most items are adjusted to the model, except four items that presented an item-total correlation below 0.2 and two items that presented differential functioning depending on the children's sex: reliability of items was 0.97 and Cronbach's alpha was -0.67. Conclusion: The scale's preliminary version presented satisfactory psychometric properties, suggesting it is reliable for the identification of psychopathological symptoms related to anxiety, mood, social behavior, motor attention/activity, eating patterns, and the use/abuse of psychoactive substances among children aged from six to 12 years old.
