Repository of resources in Open Science Framework

Recognizing the importance of open access to scientific resources and transparency in methodologies, we maintain a repository on the Open Science Framework. This repository collects comprehensive data on our research initiatives, including process descriptions, analyses, datasets, dashboards, and resulting resources.

Cross-cultural adaptation and translation of 17 assessment instruments: freely accessible instruments

We made 17 internationally-employed assessment tools for child and adolescent mental health newly available in Greek, following a systematic cross-cultural adaptation and translation process.

These instruments are ready for use by frontline professionals and researchers and can be downloaded here.

Systematic review of the scientific literature: a scientific article

We conducted a systematic review of the current state of knowledge on child and adolescent mental health in Greece. This review involved collecting and evaluating data from hundreds of publications, encompassing 553 prevalence estimates, 261 assessment instruments, and 24 experimental interventions.

This scientific publication details the review methodology and findings.

Nationwide Survey - scientific publication

To understand the needs and priorities in child and adolescent mental health, we conducted a nationwide survey in Greece. We gathered information from 1,756 caregivers, 1,201 children and adolescents, 404 schoolteachers, and 475 health professionals. The survey covered a range of topics, including mental health symptoms, needs, literacy and stigma, service use and access, professional practices, training background, and training needs and preferences.

A scientific publication details this initiative here.

Local needs assessment at the educational system: a report on findings

To understand the challenges faced by educators and their needs to support student mental health in the classroom, we visited 52 schools across five regions in Greece for a mixed-method assessment.

A report summarizing findings is available here.
