Measurement Issues: Review of four patient reported outcome measures: SDQ, RCADS, C/ORS and GBO - their strengths and limitations for clinical use and service evaluation.

A systematic review using the COSMIN checklist to identify measures of general mental health and wellbeing for an adolescent mental health population found the GHQ-12, ORS and YP CORE had the greatest clinical utility and the psychometric quality of measures reviewed overall were generally poor in quality.
Associations between evidence-based practice and mental health outcomes in child and adolescent mental health services
TLDR
Both the evidence- based practice and non-evidence-based practice groups improve over time, with moderate effect sizes, and there were greater improvements associated with evidence-basedpractice for children with emotional disorders, based on child self-reported symptoms but not on parent report.

TLDR
Clinicians' lack of adherence to MH-OAT and use of MH- OAT data are discussed in terms of passive resistance and their possible perception that the process is largely irrelevant to the care of their clients.
Youth Top Problems: using idiographic, consumer-guided assessment to identify treatment needs and to track change during psychotherapy.
TLDR
The Top Problems measure appears to be a psychometrically sound, client-guided approach that complements empirically derived standardized assessment that can help focus attention and treatment planning on the problems that youths and caregivers consider most important and can generate evidence on trajectories of change in those problems during treatment.

What do parents and carers think about routine outcome measures and their use? A focus group study of CAMHS attenders

Construct validity of the five-factor Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in pre-, early, and late adolescence.
TLDR
Support for the proposed five-factor structure of the SDQ is indicated across a wide age range (10-19years), including older adolescents and different informants, however, some improvements should be considered to improve internal reliability and conceptual clarity.
