Résumé
Backround The evidence base for interventions for child mental health and neurodevelopment is weak and the current capacity for rigorous evaluation limited. We describe some of the challenges that make this field particularly difficult and expensive for evaluation studies. Methods We describe and review the use of novel study designs and analysis methodology for their potential to improve this situation. Results While several novel designs appeared ill‐suited to our field, systematic review found others that offered potential but had yet to be widely adopted, some not at all. Conclusions While funding is inevitably a constraint, we argue that improvements in the evidence base of both current and new treatments will only be achieved by the adoption of a number of these new technologies and study designs, the consistent application of rigorous constructive but demanding standards, and the engagement of the public, patients, clinical and research services to build a design, recruitment, and analysis infrastructure.
