Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in mental health on the 3-point Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at 2 week

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 2

    The Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was created by Goodman as a brief screening tool for assessing emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents. There are two primary versions of the SDQ, self-report and proxy-report, for different age bands: 2-4, 11-17, 4-17 and over 18 years. The SDQ consists of subscales for emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention problems, peer problems, and prosocial scales. Each subscale comprises five items, with 'somewhat true' being always scored as 1. On the other hand, the scoring for 'not true' and 'certainly true' varied depending on the item (i.e., 0 or 2).
