Overview
Brief Summary
The general objective of the study is to test an online platform for the promotion of emotional health in children
Detailed Description
The project aims at implementing an integrated online therapeutic platform that will be accessed by youth, parents and clinicians. The main original feature is the integration of state of the art online/mobile and gaming technologies into a unique platform that allows easy access to personalized, accessible and validated prevention. The platform aims to allow access to attractive, easily accessible and evidence-based prevention for youths. The system will be validated in the second step as an integrative, multi-componential and adaptive platform for the prevention of emotional disorders in youth. The platform includes tools that were separately tested in laboratory conditions and found to be effective: the REThink therapeutic video game and the online REThink Parenting and Rational Parent Coach mobile programs.

Children's emotional symptoms
Time Frame: baseline
The Child Behavior Checklist for ages 6-18 (CBCL; Achenbach \& Rescorla, 2001) is a parent-report of child emotional and behavioral problems. Each item is rated on a 3-point Likert-style scale ranging from 0 (not true) to 2 (very true or often true). The DSM-derived affective and anxiety scales and the anxious/depressed and withdrawn/depressed syndrome scales, respectively, will be used to assess emotional symptoms.
Changes in children's emotional symptoms - immediately
