Across the two studies, only 28 and 41% of parents reported having contacted ''mental health agency,'' but 100% reported contact when asked about specific agencies by name. Incorporating this simple modification in future studies could provide more accurate documentation of help-seeking for, and utilization of, children's mental health services.
