Summary
A team from the Personal Social Services Research Unit at the London School of Economics and Political Science analysed data from the British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey, a survey of 2,461 children and young people, and the 2000 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey.
The team found mental health-related costs for 12- to 15-year-olds totalled an average of £1,778 a year. Ninety per cent of this cost was incurred by the education sector. The cost was broken down as £24 for primary care, £30 for paediatrics, £60 for mental health services, £100 for social care, £908 for frontline education and £656 for special education resources.
