2024-02-20

Under Culture and Environment Parental Monitoring measure, added in Notes and special considerations: Item 8 (parental_monitor_q8_p) asks, “Do you know which places your child visits when they are out with friends at night?”. A notably larger percentage of parents choose “decline to answer” as their response to this question than the percentage of parents who do so for other items on this scale. The percentage of “decline to answer” responses on item 8 decreases longitudinally, which might indicate that parents were selecting “decline to answer” because they do not allow their parents to be out with friends at night at younger ages - in other words, they see the question as inapplicable. We cannot confirm this possibility, but bring the larger percentage of “decline to answer” responses on item 8 to users’ attention when considering a summary score.

Under Mental Health UPPS sum scores, added in Notes and special considerations: There are a small number of cases where 1 or 2 items were missing and a score was computed without compensation. The number of items missing are in the output, so users can recompute the value as an average of the number of items answered if they would like.
