Mental Health Assessment for Young Children (MHAYC) helps providers use best practices for assessing mental health conditions for young children. In this new report, we used medical claims data to look at the impact of MHAYC policies on assessment practices.
The report found that multi-session assessments, a key best practice for infant-early childhood mental health, became more common for young children after MHAYC policies went into effect. There was not a similar increase for older children, which suggests that the MHAYC policy led to a positive change in developmentally appropriate practice.
The report also provides additional insights into how many young children receive mental health assessments, where these assessments occur, and the types of conditions diagnosed.
