Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. Investigate user satisfaction with the health service, i.e., the Pediatric

Rehabilitation Services.
