About

It describes how these visits have changed over time and what factors might be causing them. The research was done in multiple centers, meaning it included data from different hospitals or clinics. The goal is to understand trends in pediatric mental health emergencies better and find ways to improve care for young patients needing urgent help with their mental well-being.
