Mental Health & Cognitive Dysfunction: A Multicenter Study at Pediatric

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

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. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
