Abstract
The director, one other professional, and one paraprofessional in 515 community mental health centers and 193 state hospitals throughout the United States were asked to rate 57 critical issues in mental health services as to their importance now andfive years from now. Issues judged most important now are services for children and for adolescents; five years from now children's services still top the list. Answers to two other questions revealed that respondents placed research on prevention at the top ofa list ofneeded research areas, and that the most useful NIMH service to agencies was person-to-person assistance such as consultation and workshops.
