Summary

This study surveys 500 adolescents in Dutch-speaking secondary schools in Brussels to see how well they recognize emotional neglect and whether that affects their willingness to seek help. Participants read one of four short stories about a teen experiencing neglect, then answer questions. The goal is to understand the decision-making process behind help-seeking.
