Geographic Distribution of Military Dependent Children: Mental Health Resources Needed

Utilized information originating from the US Department of Defense Dependents Schools' enrollment for dependents 5–17 yrs old and extrapolated information from the Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee Report to determine the number of children requiring mental health attention. Also estimated are the geographical distribution of military dependent children, the availability of civilian child psychiatrists within 50 miles of the location, the number of military child psychiatrists per area, and the number of dependent children whose active duty parental sponsor is overseas.
