Recommendation 4:
Finally, it is important to establish ongoing systems for monitoring mental health needs and outcomes for all children — to accurately depict the needs over time and to inform the evaluation of initiatives designed to meet these needs. Such efforts should focus first on problems that are expected to increase in the short term including anxiety, depression, behaviour problems and posttraumatic stress — in addition to tracking progress at addressing underlying issues such as socioeconomic disparities. Monitoring could take the form of pragmatic yet robust population-based short surveys conducted in representative samples of children. Our review also suggests that many children who experience mental health problems after disasters eventually recover. So tracking outcomes is also a way of measuring success.
