Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Surveillance System (CAPSS)

 

CAPSS

Welcome to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Surveillance System (CAPSS) web pages

CAPSS was officially launched in April 2009 and is based within the CRTU.  CAPSS is here to assist clinicians and researchers in ascertaining nationally cases of rare childhood mental conditions. 

CAPSS aims to:

*  facilitate epidemiological surveillance and research into uncommon child and adolescent mental health conditions

 

*  increase awareness within the medical profession and public alike of the less common psychiatric disorders that afflict children

 

*  allow psychiatrists to participate in surveillance of such conditions

 

This website will tell you more about the work of CAPSS, the clinicians who make this work possible, how to use the systems as an investigator.

 

We hope you find the information on the website useful.
