All referrals during the year 1977 to the only child psychiatric facility in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador were investigated on a number of variables. Two hundred and two children were referred. This was considered a very low rate of referrals. Distance of the child's residence beyond the range of 50 kilometres from the unit was negatively associated to referrals. Lack of parental employment was not associated with increased rate of referrals. Children from the outlying regions of the Province were unlikely to come from broken families.
