AB  - BACKGROUND: To examine demographic and clinical characteristics as potential 
      predictors of change for children and youth with emotional disorders treated at 
      two child and adolescent mental health outpatient services (CAMHS) in Norway. 
      METHODS: The study was of naturalistic observational type with "treatment as 
      usual" (TAU). The sample consisted of 84 children and youth with emotional 
      disorders. The Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HONOSCA), and the Children's 
      Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) were administered at intake (T0), during the 
      assessment (T1) and approximately six months after assessment (T2). Change was 
      analysed by means of the linear mixed models procedure. RESULTS: For the HONOSCA 
      total score, youths with a diagnosis of depression had statistically higher 
      symptom severity levels at baseline and significantly lower change rates as 
      compared to youths with an anxiety disorder. CONCLUSIONS: The current study adds 
      to the limited knowledge of predictors of rate of change for children and 
      adolescents with emotional disorders treated within CAMHS. Our results point to a 
      special need to improve clinical care for depressed children and adolescents. 
      Important limitations comprising the external validity of the study concern 
      missing data, a small study sample, and lack of information regarding the content 
      and extent of the service provided.
