Frequencies and proportions were calculated using the original, non-imputed dataset. Relative risk ratios were calculated using the imputed dataset

aGP, general practice, is the reference group

bSecondary health services include A&E, other clinical speciality, and other mental health trust

cSocial/criminal justice includes local authority and non-SLaM social services, courts, police, probation services, and youth justice services

dModels adjusted for ethnicity, migration status, gender, household composition, year of referral, and CGAS score (continuous) for those aged 12–15 and 16–17 or HoNOS score (continuous) for those aged 18–29
