Promotion by Education : Adolescent Mental Health Policy Translation in a Local Context of China

Guo, Cheng ; Keller, Christina LU ; Söderqvist, Fredrik and Tomson, Göran (2019) In Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research 47.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe how Chinese national adolescent mental health policy is translated into local plans and practice by means of the theoretical perspective of the policy triangle. Document analysis of national, provincial and
local policy documents and semi-structured interviews with local policy actors were performed. National policies were implemented by a top-down process. The ministries were strong policy-makers on the national level, while the policy actors at the local level were mainly found in the educational sector. The content of the policy actions was moral education, knowledge dissemination and learning, rather than counselling and treatment.
