Children aged 4 and…

In this study, we aimed to explore the utility of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) with a trauma supplement of six items for preschool children in routine care. Parents of two- to six-year-olds (N = 61) were asked to complete the questionnaire during the routine health check-up offered to all ref…
And they gave me a shot, it really hurt” – Evaluative content in investigative interviews with young children
Research is scarce on the suitability of the evidence-based components of child investigative interviews when used in non-forensic contexts, such as social work or school, particularly in relation to children's reports on emotional content. This explorative study investigated to what extent a structured forensic interview protocol aids children in verbalizing negative emotional experiences of distress or discomfort. To do this we assessed and com…
