Forskningsprogrammet förväntas leda till ökad kunskap om hur delaktighet och psykisk hälsa är relaterade. Dessutom studeras hur barn och föräldrar är involverade i åtgärdsarbetet och relateras till de åtgärder som görs för at förbättra psykisk hälsa. Kunskapen skagenerera ett underlag för åtgärder för att förbättra barns och ungdomars psykiska hälsa. Underlaget ska gälla både åtgärder för att förbättra psykisk hälsa och åtgärder som ökar barns och föräldrars delaktighet i åtgärdsprocessen.
