First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are translating the Ohio Youth Scales into Turkish to measure emotional and behavioral problems, daily functioning, and satisfaction with mental health services in children and teens. About 300 children and adolescents aged 5 to 18, along with their parents, will fill out the questionnaires. The study checks whether the Turkish versions are accurate and consistent by comparing them with other measures and repeating the test. No medical treatment or procedures are involved.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the Turkish versions prove reliable, clinicians in Turkey could better assess children's mental health and satisfaction with services, improving care and rehabilitation planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. The scales may not translate perfectly across cultures, and results depend on the sample's representativeness.
