美国儿童的心理健康等待时间从2026年的12周降至8周以下,原因是联邦资金和人员增加。 U.S. children's mental health wait times dropped from 12 to under eight weeks in 2026 due to federal funding and staffing increases.

2026年初,美国卫生和公众服务部报告说,儿童心理健康服务的等待时间明显减少,城市和郊区平均延迟时间从12周降至8周以下。 In early 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported a measurable decrease in wait times for children's mental health services, with average delays dropping from 12 weeks to under eight weeks in urban and suburban areas. 2025年后期启动了一项联邦倡议,扩大了社区精神保健诊所的资金,并培训了15 000多名精神保健专业人员,此后,情况有所改善。 The improvement follows a federal initiative launched in late 2025 that expanded funding for community mental health clinics and trained over 15,000 additional mental health professionals. 官员将进展归因于人员配置增加和远程保健一体化,尽管农村地区继续面临更长时间的等待。 Officials attribute the progress to increased staffing and telehealth integration, though rural regions continue to face longer waits.
