Abstract

HoNOSCA is a timely newcomer to the field of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) research. In its short life it has already been thoroughly and successfully evaluated. Its user-friendliness has made it acceptable and even popular in routine clinical practice. It was central to clinical data gathering for the recent national survey of CAMH provision in the UK (Audit Commission, 1999). What are the reasons for its popularity? What are its limitations? And what about possible future uses?
