Abstract

Schools are an essential setting for mental health supports and services for students. To support student well-being, schools engage in universal mental health screening to identify students in need of support and to provide surveillance data for district-wide or state-wide policy changes. Mental health data have been collected via anonymous and self-identified response formats depending on the purpose of the screening (i.e., surveillance and screening, respectively). However, most surveys do not provide psychometric evidence for use in both types of response formats. The current study examined whether responses to the Social Emotional Health Survey–Secondary (SEHS-S), a school mental health survey, are comparable when administered using anonymous versus self-identified response formats. The study participants were from one high school and completed the SEHS-S using self-identified (n = 1,700) and anonymous (n = 1,667) formats. Full measurement invariance was found across the two response formats. Both substantial and minimal latent mean differences were detected. Implications for the use and interpretation of the SEHS-S for schoolwide mental health are discussed.

学校心理健康筛查的匿名与自我识别反应形式

学校是为学生提供心理健康支持和服务的重要场所。为了支持学生的福祉，学校进行普遍的心理健康筛查，以确定需要支持的学生，并为全区或全州的政策变化提供监测数据。心理健康数据是通过匿名和自我识别的响应格式收集的，具体取决于筛查的目的（即分别进行监测和筛查）。然而，大多数调查并没有提供在这两种类型的回答形式中使用的心理测量证据。目前的研究调查了使用匿名和自我识别的回答形式进行的对学校心理健康调查——中等社会情绪健康调查（SEHS-S）的回答是否具有可比性。研究参与者来自一所高中，使用自我识别（n=1700）和匿名（n=1667）格式完成了SEHS-S。在两种响应格式中发现了完全的测量不变性。检测到实质性和最小潜在平均值差异。讨论了SEHS-S的使用和解释对学校心理健康的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
