The study sample included 815 youths aged 0 to 25\u00a0years, referred or scheduled for a MHI between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016. We used chi-square and t-tests to examine the association between referral pathways and engagement, logistic regression to understand the relationship between youth\u2019s socio-demographic characteristics and referral pathways, and logistic and Poisson regressions to assess potential moderating effects of socio-demographic characteristics on engagement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age of the study population was 12\u00a0years; 46% were female, and the majority had public health insurance (84%) and lived in high social vulnerability areas (65%). Less than half of the youth attended the first scheduled MHI visit. Those scheduled with the screening clinic were less likely than those scheduled with the provider to ever attend a MHI appointment. Spanish-speakers were more likely to be directly scheduled with a provider (Odds Ratio, OR 0.48; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.73), while those with public health insurance were more likely to be scheduled with the screening clinic (OR 0.56; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.96). Spanish-speaking status and areas social vulnerability scores moderated the relationship between the referral pathway and engagement in psychiatric appointments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study highlights the need for psychiatric services to evaluate how MHI referral procedures may mitigate barriers to care and facilitate engagement for youth at high risk of not attending psychiatric service appointments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/13558196241311712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]],"date-time":"2025-01-16T05:05:12Z","timestamp":1737003912000},"page":"79-88","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Engagement in child psychiatry department appointments: An analysis of electronic medical records in one safety-net hospital in New England, USA"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1978-3274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yesenia","family":"Aguilar Silvan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student and Researcher, Department of Psychology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa R","family":"Fortuna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences, School of Medicine, University of California, Riverside, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea E","family":"Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor and Vice Chair for Research, Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, Ann and Robert H Lurie Children\u2019s Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren C","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10560-012-0256-2"},{"key":"bibr2-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199007000-00022"},{"key":"bibr3-13558196241311712","first-page":"182","volume":"19","author":"Gopalan G","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Can Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr4-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ps.2009.60.7.898"},{"key":"bibr5-13558196241311712","first-page":"174","volume":"20","author":"Connors EH","year":"2022","journal-title":"Psychol Serv"},{"key":"bibr6-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.330.7495.839"},{"key":"bibr7-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.201700018"},{"key":"bibr8-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/tbm\/ibz140"},{"key":"bibr9-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1473325018755889"},{"key":"bibr10-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.genhosppsych.2016.12.006"},{"key":"bibr11-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10879-012-9222-8"},{"key":"bibr12-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/cou0000074"},{"key":"bibr13-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2008.10.010"},{"key":"bibr14-13558196241311712","first-page":"27354","volume":"17","author":"Chipidza FE","year":"2015","journal-title":"Prim Care Companion CNS Disord"},{"key":"bibr15-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.201400085"},{"key":"bibr16-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/appy.12199"},{"key":"bibr17-13558196241311712","first-page":"194","volume":"49","author":"Alegr\u00eda M","year":"2012","journal-title":"Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci"},{"key":"bibr18-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2013.09.006"},{"key":"bibr19-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00787-015-0767-4"},{"key":"bibr20-13558196241311712","volume-title":"Boston medical center community health needs assessment","author":"Boston Medical Center","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr21-13558196241311712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/fampra\/cmaa134"},{"key":"bibr22-13558196241311712","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
