Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is a peer-reviewed medical journal associated with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and focused on clinical research, policy, and practice related to pediatric mental health. The journal publishes original research, reviews, clinical guidelines, and case studies that inform practitioners affiliated with institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University School of Medicine, and University College London. It is read by clinicians and researchers connected to organizations including the National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, and the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
The journal was established in 1962 during a period of institutional expansion involving the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and related organizations such as the National Association for Mental Health and the American Medical Association. Early editorial boards included prominent figures from Columbia University, Yale School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Bellevue Hospital Center. Over decades the journal intersected with developments at the National Institutes of Health and policy debates involving the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Milestones include special issues on topics linked to initiatives at the Surgeon General of the United States and collaborations with societies like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions.
The journal covers clinical trials, longitudinal cohort studies, meta-analyses, and practice guidelines addressing disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and early psychosis. Contributors have included researchers from University of California, Los Angeles, University of Michigan, King's College London, University of Toronto, and McGill University. Content often engages methodological frameworks associated with investigators at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Salk Institute, and Broad Institute. The journal publishes consensus statements influenced by panels including representatives from American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the European Psychiatric Association, and task forces convened by Institute of Medicine and National Academy of Medicine.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic databases used by scholars at PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science. Citation tracking is available through services operated by Clarivate Analytics and Elsevier. Abstracting and indexing facilitate discoverability among researchers affiliated with Princeton University, University of Oxford, Cornell University, and University of Pennsylvania and support literature searches used in systematic reviews by teams at Cochrane Collaboration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and World Mental Health Surveys investigators.
Editorial leadership has historically included editors drawn from departments at Harvard Medical School, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The journal adheres to policies reflecting standards from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and ethical guidelines aligned with the Committee on Publication Ethics. Peer review is coordinated with reviewers from institutions such as Yale School of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, Emory University School of Medicine, and University of Sydney.
