Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• SDQ: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire SDQ

  The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a validated behavioral screening tool that assesses emotional and behavioral difficulties in children through 25 items grouped into five subscales: Emotional Symptoms, Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity/Inattention, Peer Relationship Problems, and Prosocial Behavior. Each subscale includes 5 items scored from 0 to 2, resulting in subscale scores ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores on the first four subscales indicate greater difficulties, while higher scores on the Prosocial Behavior subscale reflect better social functioning. A Total Difficulties Score (the lowest is 0 and the highest is 40) is calculated by summing the four difficulties subscales, with higher scores indicating more behavioral problems. Scores are reported as mean ± standard deviation, with higher total or subscale scores indicating worse outcomes for difficulties and better outcomes for prosocial behavior (Goodman, 1997; Stone et al., 2010)

Limitations and Caveats

First, the study used a pre-post design with no long-term follow-up, limiting insight into sustained effects. Second, the sample size was modest, affecting generalizability. Third, intervention delivery by a single researcher may have introduced social desirability bias. Lastly, data collection occurred during the Gaza conflict and lockdowns. Early termination leading to small numbers of subjects analyzed; Technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data.
