Abstract
International comparisons of child and adolescent psychiatry services are rarely reported in the literature. The present study arose out of a TEMPUS collaborative project between the University Departments of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Szeged, Hungary, and Glasgow, Scotland. Using the Glasgow Audit Questionnaire, a profile of each service was obtained, including basic demographic data, types of disorders referred, treatment modalities used, and a measure of outcome. The results of this descriptive study indicate that although the two centres were broadly similar, there were major differences in the treatment modalities used. Reasons for the findings are discussed, as are the limitations of the study.
