While Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs are adopting advocacy curricula, the authors argue that the shortage of trained CAPs and the growing need for advocacy makes it essential to focus on advocacy training that targets patients, organizations, or entire populations.

Editors' Note and Special Communication: Research Priorities in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Emerging From the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Over the last year, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in profound disruptions across the globe, with school closures, social isolation, job loss, illness, and death affecting the lives of children and families in myriad ways. In an Editors' Note in our June 2020 issue, our senior editorial team described this Journal's role in advancing knowledge in child and adolescent mental health during the pandemic and outlined areas we identified as important for science and practice in our field. Since then, the Journal has published articles on the impacts of the pandemic on child and adolescent mental health and service systems, which are available in a special collection accessible through the Journal's website.
