In this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America, guest editors Drs. Xiaoming Li and Sayward Harrison bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Progress in Behavioral Health Interventions for Children and Adolescents. Nearly three-quarters of adult mental health disorders have their onset during childhood, where treatment becomes more difficult and has greater social, educational, and economic consequences over time.
