This article presents the results of testing a new research instrument, the Inpatient Measure of Adolescent and Child Services and Treatment (I-MACST). The instrument assesses eight psychosocial mental health strategies for psychiatrically hospitalised children and adolescents and provides an understanding of the therapeutic and case management service orientations of inpatient facilities. Concludes that the I-MACST characterises the treatment practices of an entire facility with little demand on staff time.
