All primary caregivers were asked whether their adolescent used any services providing support or counselling for emotional or behavioural problems in the past 12 months. Mental disorders were assessed using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children, Version 5 (DISC-5). The prevalence of service use was calculated among those with mental disorders, subthreshold mental disorders, and no mental disorder. The prevalence of service use among those with either a diagnostic or subthreshold mental disorder was compared by demographic characteristics and broad mental disorder type. All estimates were weighted using population weights for each country and presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Very few adolescents with a mental disorder (Kenya: 11.9%, 95% CI: 9.3\u201315.1; Indonesia: 4.7%, 95% CI: 1.9\u201311.1; Vietnam: 8.2%; 95% CI: 3.9\u201316.4) or a subthreshold mental disorder (Kenya: 10.8%, 95% CI: 9.1\u201312.9; Indonesia: 2.2%, 95% CI: 1.1\u20134.5; Vietnam: 8.5%; 95% CI: 5.0\u201314.1) accessed services that provide support or counselling for emotional or behavioural problems in the past 12 months. In Kenya, being older (aOR 1.41, 95% CI; 1.07\u20131.86) and female (aOR 1.77, 95% CI; 1.34\u20132.34) were associated with increased odds of service use, while having internalising disorders only (aOR 0.45, 95% CI; 0.30\u20130.65) was associated with decreased odds of service use.
