The aim of this paper is to review child and adolescent mental health outcome measures and identify outcome measurement tools for use in routine clinical practice. Method A systematic literature review was undertaken, using Medline and Psych Info and supplemented by correspondence with relevant institutions and authorities in the field. The review identifies potential specific outcome measurement tools. These tools are evaluated using the scientific criteria of validity and reliability, responsiveness to change, and appropriateness of each tool's format for use in routine clinical practice. Results Three broad categories of outcome are identified: population outcomes, specific outcome and performance indicators. Nineteen specific outcome measurement tools are short-listed and compared in detail. No single tool is suitable for use as a comprehensive outcome measurement tool in routine clinical practice. Conclusions A combination of some of the tools shortlisted will cover all the necessary outcome items. However, the increase in assessment time will reduce clinical usefulness. Further research is needed to modify or create appropriate outcome measurement tools for use in routine clinical practice. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence child and adolescent psychiatry nationallicence mental health nationallicence outcomes nationallicence audit nationallicence Hunter Jennifer Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority 50 Eastbourne Terrace, London W2 6LX aut Higginson Irene London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Keppel Street, London WCIE 7HT aut Garralda Elena St Mary's Hospital Medical School Norfolk Place, London W2 1PG aut Journal of Public Health Oxford University Press 18/2(1996-06), 197-206 1741-3842 18:2<197 1996 18 pubmed https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.pubmed.a024480 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.pubmed.a024480 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Hunter Jennifer Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority 50 Eastbourne Terrace, London W2 6LX aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Higginson Irene London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Keppel Street, London WCIE 7HT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Garralda Elena St Mary's Hospital Medical School Norfolk Place, London W2 1PG aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Public Health Oxford University Press 18/2(1996-06), 197-206 1741-3842 18:2<197 1996 18 pubmed Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
