Overview

Cross-sectional analysis highlights significant treatment gaps for depression and substance use disorder in adolescents and young adults.

Key Points

  • Only 10% of adolescents with substance use disorder received any treatment, highlighting critical gaps.
  • About 24% of adolescents had a mental health diagnosis, yet only 51% received treatment for it in 2021-2022.
  • Young adults showed lower treatment rates for mental health issues compared to younger adolescents, indicating increased vulnerability.
  • Socioeconomic factors, such as insurance coverage, significantly influenced treatment accessibility and rates.
