The purpose of the study was to evaluate the tool regarding its item level distributions, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, factor structure, convergent and criterion validity.ResultsInternal consistency estimates were encouraging (α/ω = .82-.91), although their precision was limited by the small sample size. Test-retest coefficients suggested moderate-to-good temporal stability (ICC = .76-.79), but these findings should be considered preliminary. The observed pattern was consistent with a two-factor structure (A1/A2), pending confirmation in a larger sample. Correlations with the CBCL and C-TRF Attention Problems scales provided preliminary evidence of moderate-to-strong convergent validity. Children in the ADHD-like group obtained higher scores than controls, with large observed effect sizes; however, these estimates may be unstable given the limited sample. No clear descriptive differences emerged between the Italian and German versions, although the study was not sufficiently powered to establish their equivalence.ConclusionsPreliminary findings indicate that the screening tool is promising for early ADHD screening in a multilingual context. Full psychometric validation will be conducted in a subsequent research project, designed to ensure methodological robustness and clinical-educational transferability.","PeriodicalId":93938,"journal":{"name":"Clinical child psychology and psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13591045261496116"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149129556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the association between Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and mental-health problems is well-established and we might expect this group to have increased difficulties accessing services. Despite this, research into potential communication barriers within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is lacking, both generally and for SLCN children specifically.AimThis study explored the views of caregivers of children with and without SLCN to identify perceived barriers to accessing CAMHS. Key factors were considered: caregivers' understanding of the language used by CAMHS; communication strategies used by professionals; and caregiver views of children's mental health outcomes after accessing CAMHS.MethodsAn online caregiver survey was used to collect views. The survey was completed by 61 caregivers of children who had been referred to CAMHS, for reasons other than communication, 32 of whom cared for a child with SLCN.ResultsCaregivers generally understood the language used with them by CAMHS, although a minority reported difficulties. They were less positive about communication adjustments, discharge processes, and outcomes after accessing CAMHS. Caregivers of children with SLCN were more likely to report that their child's mental health was poorer after CAMHS. No other differences were found between the SLCN/non-SLCN groups with communication presenting some barriers across both.ConclusionsAll children accessing CAMHS would benefit from increased communication adjustments in order to achieve the most effective intervention.","PeriodicalId":93938,"journal":{"name":"Clinical child psychology and psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"1454-1475"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13620236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147367735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, children with ODD alone displayed moderate elevations in symptoms but largely normative parenting knowledge and discipline practices, differing little from those without disruptive behaviors.

The factor structure was tested via Confirmatory Factor Analysis, while internal consistency, validity evidence, and measurement invariance across gender were examined.ResultsThe four-factor model demonstrated the best fit (CFI = .997, TLI = .997, RMSEA = .032, SRMR = .050) and yielded high standardized factor loadings (λ = .63-.93). Internal consistency was high across all dimensions (ω = .87-.92), and convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity were supported.

Twenty-one focus groups (N = 187) were conducted across four autonomous communities in Spain, involving representatives of all groups.
