Abstract

ABSTRACT The mental health and wellbeing of children and young people is an area of great concern for those within education and health sectors, with young people reported to be especially at risk during adolescence. This has resulted in increasing demand for measures which can identify children and young people at risk of developing mental health difficulties, in order for appropriate and early intervention to be implemented. Previous literature highlights the large numbers of measures available, but guidance on which might be most appropriate for school use is limited. This review identified 10 measures which could be used for universal secondary school screening, from the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) and the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) toolkit. Measures were evaluated in relation to their implementation, psychometric properties and quality; and to how well items measured domains identified by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) domains of mental health and wellbeing. Findings indicated that the Good Childhood Index, KIDSCREEN-27, Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale and the Warwick and Edinburgh Mental Health Scale are all suitable measures for universal secondary school screening of young people’s mental health and wellbeing, as defined by NICE.

中学普遍筛查心理健康和福利措施综述

儿童和青少年的心理健康和福祉是教育和卫生部门非常关注的一个领域，据报道，青少年在青春期尤其面临风险。这导致越来越多的人要求采取措施，确定有可能出现精神健康问题的儿童和青年，以便及早采取适当的干预措施。以前的文献强调了大量可用的措施，但指导可能最适合学校使用是有限的。本综述从安娜·弗洛伊德国家儿童和家庭中心(AFNCCF)和儿童成果研究联盟(CORC)工具包中确定了10项可用于普遍中学筛查的措施。评估措施的实施，心理测量特性和质量;以及国家临床卓越研究所(NICE)确定的心理健康和幸福领域的测量结果。研究结果表明，良好童年指数、KIDSCREEN-27、斯特林儿童健康量表和沃里克和爱丁堡心理健康量表都是适用于普遍的中学青少年心理健康和福祉筛查的措施。
