Behavioral health diagnoses among children and adolescents hospitalized in the United States: observations and implications.
The study described rates and characteristics of U.S. children hospitalized with a behavioral (mental or substance use) disorder. The study concluded that nearly 500,000 pediatric admissions in 2012 included behavioral disorders. Comorbidities were associated with longer stays and an estimated $1.36 billion additional annual costs, which were disproportionately borne by public insurance.

Screening for and diagnosis of depression among adolescents in a large health maintenance organization.
The researchers determined changes in patterns of depression screening and diagnosis over three years in primary and specialty mental health care in a large HMO. They found that the rate of depression screening in primary care increased over the study period, corresponding to an increase in the number of depression diagnoses made in primary care and a shift in the location in which depression diagnoses were made, from the mental health department to primary care.
