| Abstract | In order to estimate the burden of mental disorders in a representative Italian pediatric population, an epidemiological study was performed using three administrative databases: a drug prescription, a hospital discharge form, and an outpatient ambulatory visit database. The population target was 1,616,268 children and adolescents under 18 years living in the Lombardy Region, Italy. A youth was defined as a case if during 2008 he/she received at least one psychotropic drug prescription or was hospitalized for a psychiatric disorder (International Classification of Disease codes 290-319), or attended a child neuropsychiatric outpatient unit for a visit and/or a psychological intervention or rehabilitation at least once. Epileptic children were excluded. In all, 63,550 youths (39.3 per 1000; 95%CI 39.1-39.7) were identified as users of health care resources for a putative mental disorder. The prevalence was higher in boys than in girls (47.0 versus 31.3) and the highest value was recorded in children 8 years old (60.2). A total of 59,987 youths (37.1) attended a child and adolescent neuropsychiatry service at least once, 3605 (2.2) were admitted to hospital, and 2761 (1.7) received at least one psychotropic drug prescription, 57% of which did not attend a child neuropsychiatry service. In all, 14,741 youths (23.1% of users) had a disorder that required a high intensity of care (e.g. recurrent prescriptions for drugs and/or ambulatory care). The proportion of youths who received care for mental disorders in the Lombardy Region seems lower than in other countries. However, the fact that many children were prescribed psychotropic drugs without the supervision of a child psychiatrist is a reason for concern. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
