NOTE: Mental health treatment/counseling for youths is defined as having received treatment or counseling from any of 10 specific sources for emotional or behavioral problems NOT caused by alcohol or drug use. Youths who did not answer four or more of the source of treatment questions with a "yes" or "no" response were excluded from this analysis. Youths who reported they received treatment/counseling from one specific source (special education services while in a regular or special classroom, a special program, or special school) were not asked for the reasons they received these services and are therefore not included in this table. See Table H.84 for a list of the 10 specific sources of treatment.
