Psychische gezondheid bij Nederlandse kinderen

- The prevalence of mental disorders among children in the Netherlands was studied. It was found that of children from the general population aged 8 and 11 years, 7 had a severe, and 24 a moderate to severe disorder. In a sample of 2076 children aged 4-16 years, it was determined how demographic variables and the question whether or not the child was on record with an institute of mental health care affected the incidence of a large number of symptoms. The questionnaire for parents that was used proved useful for research and practice, for the recording of the severity of psychic problems in children.
