The safe and effective use of antipsychotic medications for children and adolescents [hereafter youth] in the United States is a critical issue in mental and substance use treatment. Antipsychotic medication use is substantially higher for youth in the United States when compared to rates of use among youth in most other developed countries.

In recent years, a growing evidence base arose in both the peer¿reviewed and grey literature documenting the effectiveness of prior authorization and other systems¿level.
