Detailed Description

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

Research indicates that more than 1 in 10 preschoolers have significant social, emotional and behavioural problems also known as mental health problems. Unfortunately, parents and doctors rarely identify mental health problems in young children in order to begin treatment. We are testing a short five-minute questionnaire completed by parents to see if this may help a doctor notice if a child has social, emotional and behavioural problems.

In addition, we also hope to find out if the presence of feelings of stress and depression in on or both parents may be associated with mental health problems in their preschool child.

This study is being conducted by researchers at SickKids and St. Michael's Hospital.
