Kids' Mental Health Care Varies by State
HealthDayNews story at Yahoo - "A review of mental health care for children revealed wide disparities in 13 states that represent a cross-section of the nation. The comparison, done by researchers from RAND Health, found that mental health programs serve a far greater share of children in some states than in others, but that states with a higher use of children's mental health services don't necessarily have a higher need for them."
