“…Among the 22 included studies, 8 studies examined predictors associated with psychotropic medications [ 10 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 43 , 47 , 48 ], whereas 16 studies examined factors associated with the use of mental health services [ 9 , 10 , 38 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ].

“…In addition, we found that leaving care before age 19 was associated with a higher likelihood of medication discontinuation [47], suggesting that staying in out-of-home care ensures the continuation of medication use. Moreover, Bozzi et al (2022) found that increased community-level adversity was associated with a lower likelihood of psychotropic medication use.…”

This scoping review aimed to identify predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with the use of mental health services, including psychotropic medications, among children in out-of-home care in the United States. We searched the PsycInfo, SocINDEX, Medline, and Scopus databases, and 22 studies met inclusion criteria and were systematically analyzed. Among the included studies, 7 studies examined predictors associated with taking psychotropic medications, and 16 examined factors associated with using other mental health services. Significant predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with greater use of mental health services, including psychotropic medications, were identified. The most frequently identified predisposing factors were child race/ethnicity, age, gender, and maltreatment. Important enabling factors were out-of-home placement type and length of care, and need factors included children’s mental/behavioral problems. The results provide insight into maximizing factors facilitating children’s use of mental health services to address mental health problems of children in out-of-home care. Further, the results imply the importance of the appropriate use of psychotropic medication (e.g., the type and dosage of medications) among children in out-of-home care. The identified factors can inform child welfare agencies and stakeholders on ways to improve access to mental health services and the appropriate use of psychotropic medications among children in out-of-home care in the United States.
