    Abstract

    A survey of research activity of American academic child psychiatrists was completed in February, 1989. The survey demonstrated an increase in research activity since the 1983 report in the Current Status of Child Psychiatry. A definition of a researcher was derived from a study of internists and general psychiatrists and applied to the 488 respondents (78.5% of sample), and it was found that males outnumber females and that researchers contribute significantly more to the literature and education than nonresearchers. Early research exposure and mentoring are important influences on a research career. Recommendations by researchers for future training of researchers are presented. Periodic surveys are encouraged.
