What did you and your child contribute to the study?

In our project, we looked together at how well signs of anxiety and depression can be recognized in children. Not only did you allow your child to take part in the study, but you also made an important contribution.

You filled out a digital questionnaire describing your child's behavior. At the same time, your child completed a child-friendly questionnaire about his or her feelings and behavior and took part in a literacy and mathematics test to assess his or her learning level. We then conducted a clinical interview with your child to better assess any psychological distress.

The examinations took place during school hours on school premises and lasted a maximum of three school hours. The results of the assessment were sent to you on request.

If there were any indications of psychological stress, you were informed and offered support.

With your support, you have helped us to gain important knowledge. Thank you for your participation and trust in our research!
