Abstract：
Prior to COVID-19, there were already increasing rates of youth with mental health concerns, including an increase in youth presenting to medical emergency departments (EDs) with mental health chief complaints and limited access to treatment. This trend worsened during the pandemic, and rates of youth presenting to medical EDs with suicidal ideation and self-harm increased 50% from 2019 to 2022. This resulted in a \"boarding\" crisis, in part, due to a lack of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization beds, and many youth were left without access to adequate treatment. Additional study of innovations in health care delivery will be paramount in meeting this need.
摘要：
在COVID-19之前，有心理健康问题的青年比例已经在增加，包括越来越多的年轻人向医疗急诊科（ED）提出了精神健康的主要投诉，并且获得治疗的机会有限。这种趋势在大流行期间恶化了，从2019年到2022年，出现自杀意念和自我伤害的医疗ED的年轻人比例增加了50%。这导致了“登机”危机，在某种程度上,由于缺乏住院精神病住院病床，许多年轻人得不到适当的治疗。对医疗保健服务创新的额外研究对于满足这一需求至关重要。
