The Psychological Health Guard for Children and Adolescents Project of China Database

Despite global consensus to instigate psychological healthcare policy for them, their effects remain largely unclear neither from a small amount of official data nor from small-scale scientific studies. More importantly, in those underprivileged children/adolescents at lower-middle-economic-status countries/areas, the data collection may be not equally accessible as same as developed ones, thus resulting in underrepresented observations.

To address these challenges, we released a living large-scale cohort dataset showing effects of primary psychological healthcare on decreasing depression and suicide ideation in underprivileged conditions, including unattended children/adolescents, orphan, children/adolescents in especially difficult circumstance, “left-behind” and “single-parenting” children/adolescents.
