Goodman, Anna; Goodman, Robert – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2011
Background: For adult physical and mental health, the population mean predicts the proportion of individuals with "high" scores. This has not previously been investigated for child mental health. It is also unclear how far symptom scores on brief questionnaires provide an unbiased method of comparing children with different individual,…
