The Child Behavioral Health Dashboard was developed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to give service providers, policy makers and stakeholders the information they need to make more data-informed decisions about child behavioral health in North Carolina. The dashboard brings together data from multiple sources and includes key metrics on behavioral health diagnoses among children and adolescents, risk factors and utilization of Emergency Departments, mobile crisis services and Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) for behavioral health care.
The dashboard features several tools to break down the data to focus on specific populations, including geography, race, ethnicity, age and gender. This function gives dashboard users the ability to better identify disparities and trends in child behavioral health among individual population groups.
With this new resource, NCDHHS and its partners will be better able to track progress in the child behavioral health space and help ensure all children in North Carolina have access to the services they need to thrive.
