Patients referred to pediatric rehabilitation services have often cognitive deficits/intellectual disabilities.Neurocognitive assessment is, hence, important when designing treatment plans.
Children and adolescents with cognitive deficits and intellectual disabilities (ID) have a high risk of developing mental health problems. There is lack of knowledge about such comorbid mental disorders in the health service. There are also few validated instruments for assessing mental disorders among children and adolescents with cognitive deficits and ID both in Norway and abroad.
The main aims of the current multicentre study are to:
Investigate psychometric properties of different psychiatric instruments for children and adolescents. Investigate change and stability of symptoms over time. Investigate user satisfaction. The study will include Pediatric Rehabilitation Services at hospitals in Tromsø, Hammerfest and Bodø and will include in total 320 patients aged 4 to 18. We will use information from parents, teachers and patients, in addition to clinician-rated measures. Patients will be assessed at intake and after six months. We have conducted a pilot study in the period from 2012 to 2013.
Investigate psychometric properties of a structured psychiatric interview
(DAWBA) and a symptom measure (SDQ) in clinical samples of children and
adolescents with cognitive deficits and intellectual disabilities. We will
investigate the instruments' reliability and convergent validity with the
Aberrant Behavior checklist (ABC), the DBC and the Social Responsiveness
Scale (SRS), in addition to the clinician-rated severity of children's mental
health problems measured with the CGAS and HoNOSCA.
The psychiatric instruments will be administrated at intake and after six
months. We will investigate prevalence rates and indicators of disorder
severity (comorbidity and persistence), including risk factors (socioeconomic
status, parenting styles).
Investigate user satisfaction with the health service, i.e., the Pediatric
Rehabilitation Services.
