Core Tip Psychiatric readmissions among children and adolescents are common and influenced by multiple risk factors. There is no single factor that predicts readmission by itself, but some of the risk factors that have been described include prior psychiatric hospitalizations, non-compliance with treatment recommendations, and exposure to traumatic experiences. In contrast, some factors such as having a higher educational level and compliance with aftercare services appear to reduce the likelihood of readmission. Reducing psychiatric readmissions requires interdisciplinary strategies that include comprehensive aftercare planning and expanding access to outpatient resources.
