Abstract
The global coronavirus pandemic led to significant changes in the daily lives of children and youth, including increased exposure to family hardships, school closures, and virtual delivery of mental health and educational services. In this study, routine care data from 28 mental health agencies in Ontario, Canada, obtained using the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health (ChYMH) instrument, were utilized to compare children's mental health assessment volumes and care planning needs between prepandemic (n = 5636) and postpandemic waves (n = 5743). Findings from a period of five pandemic waves highlighted a sudden drop in assessments at the start of the pandemic, with gradual recovery. Care planning needs to address weight management and suicide risk increased during the pandemic, whereas criminality involvement, educational needs, and interpersonal conflict declined. Service system access was not differentially influenced by age, but was by gender, in-patient status, and some indicators of marginalization. Limitations and clinical implications are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
