Data Resource Profile: The Mental Health of Children and Young People (MHCYP) 2017 and follow-up surveys
Togetherwith the 1999 and 2004 surveys, this dataset offers a unique opportunity to investigate trends in mental health disorders among young people, assess associated difficulties and comorbidities, and explore links with socio-economic factors. The MHCYP 2017 survey and follow-ups offer valuable cross-sectional data for understanding child and adolescent mental health trends in the UK, with longitudinal data from four subsequent surveys conducted between 2020 and 2023.
