Use of Telemental Health Care by Children and Adolescents in the United States

What is it about?

We present the first national description of video outpatient mental health care for children and adolescents in the United States. Nearly one-third of US child and adolescent mental health outpatients receive one or more of their visits via video. We further report relatively low rates of video treatment by lower income and publicly insured young people highlighting a need to increase their access to internet-delivered outpatient mental health care.
