Choose a mental health condition that affects children and/or adolescents. Report the prevalence of the condition (cite your work) and explain why its important to public health. Identify a data source (i.e., type of surveillance we reviewed in class vital records, administrative data, surveys, etc.) that can be used to monitor the condition over time and discuss the pros and cons of this data source. How would you improve surveillance/data collection for this condition? If no data source is available (which you should document), what would be the best way to collect data for this condition?
