Summary:The past decade has seen a significant increase in rates of mental illness for youth, including a dramatic increase in rates of suicide. This rise in youth mental illness coincides with a growing utilization of inpatient psychiatric care for children and adolescents.

Herein, we outline the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) for increasing the science in youth inpatient psychiatric settings to develop new evidence-based services.
