Surveying Child and Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Units: Demographics, Policies, and Practice
This study reveals the importance of IPU clinical researchers taking steps to build a robust evidence base for IPU care, including developing consensus definitions of key variables and conceptualizing why high degrees of variability exist in important variables of IPU care. The survey results provide valuable insights for hospital systems, policymakers, and clinicians in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry.
