Résumé
Children and young people with long-term physical health conditions (LTC) are known to have higher levels of co-morbid mental health problems than medically healthy children. Evidence-based treatments for mental health problems are effective in children who also have an LTC. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with participants' perceived acceptability and impact of a transdiagnostic mental health centre offering brief psychological assessment and treatment for children and young people and/or their families with mental health needs in the context of long term physical conditions. One-hundred twenty-eight patients attending the drop-in centre were invited to participate. Overall, 35 participated (31 parents/carers; 4 children and young people) in semi-structured interviews (either in person or by phone) exploring their experience of the centre. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and checked. Framework analysis was then conducted on all transcripts. Overall, participants found the drop-in centre highly acceptable and reported a positive experience. Reasons for this varied but broadly focused around four themes: (1) efficient sufficiency; (2) autonomy; (3) fusion of process and content factors and (4) (dis)parities of esteems and 'seeing both sides of the coin'. Participants found the intervention acceptable. A mental health drop-in centre in a paediatric hospital appears to be a positive and valued adjunct to supplement existing mental health services.

BACKGROUND
Children and young people with long-term physical health conditions (LTC) are known to have higher levels of co-morbid mental health problems than medically healthy children. Evidence-based treatments for mental health problems are effective in children who also have an LTC. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with participants' perceived acceptability and impact of a transdiagnostic mental health centre offering brief psychological assessment and treatment for children and young people and/or their families with mental health needs in the context of long term physical conditions.
METHODS
One-hundred twenty-eight patients attending the drop-in centre were invited to participate. Overall, 35 participated (31 parents/carers; 4 children and young people) in semi-structured interviews (either in person or by phone) exploring their experience of the centre. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and checked. Framework analysis was then conducted on all transcripts.
RESULTS
Overall, participants found the drop-in centre highly acceptable and reported a positive experience. Reasons for this varied but broadly focused around four themes: (1) efficient sufficiency; (2) autonomy; (3) fusion of process and content factors and (4) (dis)parities of esteems and 'seeing both sides of the coin'.
CONCLUSIONS
Participants found the intervention acceptable. A mental health drop-in centre in a paediatric hospital appears to be a positive and valued adjunct to supplement existing mental health services.
