One of my favorite duties as Editor of the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology involves commissioning contributions to our two invited article series. Collectively, authors of these articles write about the “past, present, and future” of youth mental health on topics central to our discipline and the interests of our readers. Articles in our Evidence Base Update series provide readers with the latest information on all matters relevant to research and service delivery, including evaluations of treatment and assessment techniques, as well as expository pieces on issues surrounding measurement and methodology. Articles in our Future Directions series inform readers about emerging, innovative research topics, and for some, inspire them to get involved in research about these topics. Below, I outline some of the 2022 articles we have released so far, as well as a couple on their way to one of this year’s issues!

• Amanda Sanchez and colleagues: “Person-Centered Cultural Assessment Can Improve Child Mental Health Service Engagement and Outcomes” (Evidence Base Update, Issue 1): https://doi.org/10.1080/15374416.2021.1981340
