Self-reported psychological distress in childhood and mental health-related hospital attendance among young adults: a 12-year data linkage cohort study from England
Adolescent psychological distress is associated with subsequent hospital attendance in young adulthood, but there might be treatment gaps in service utilisation among more disadvantaged individuals. Detecting youth with mental health difficulties may facilitate early intervention, improve life-course outcomes, and ultimately reduce secondary healthcare use.
