Title of project:
Evaluating longitudinal invariance in measures of child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing across development
Proposal summary:
Impact of research:
The research will help inform improved measurement of mental health issues across childhood and adolescence by providing insights into how mental health manifests differently at different developmental stages as well as providing direct psychometric evidence relating to the performance of specific commonly used mental health measures. It can also enhance the use of the ALSPAC dataset by providing information on how to best use the mental health measures available to achieve scores that can be validly compared over developmental stages.
