Transdiagnostic Determinants of Youth Mental Healthcare Access, 1999-2024

A structured narrative review analyzing 228 publications from 1999 to 2024 on access to mental health care for children and young people with disabilities. The analysis was conducted by Romina Rinaldi in March 2024 and identifies five cross-cutting systemic determinants. The findings are published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify systemic barriers to mental healthcare based on the five cross-cutting dimensions identified in the review
• Inform policy design for youth mental health services based on findings related to fragmented service systems and stigma
• Guide training curricula for healthcare professionals based on analysis of diagnostic overshadowing and training gaps
• Develop evaluation frameworks for healthcare equity based on the review's themes of accessibility and participation

Strengths

• Analysis of 228 publications provides a substantial literature base
• Thematic analysis informed by multiple theoretical frameworks (disability studies, child development, health equity)
• Clear temporal coverage from 1999 to 2024

Limitations

• The dataset is a single PDF document (197.2 KB), limiting direct computational analysis
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the narrative text
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative modeling
