- Brief Summary
The prevalence of mental disorders and developmental behavioral disorders (such as depressive disorders,anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders,attention deficit disorder,ect.)among children and adolescents in China is increasing,leading to difficulty in early identification of children and poor diagnosis and treatment effects,which brings significant financial burden to the families and the country.We will carry out a multi-center epidemiological survey on common mental disorders above among children and adolescents in Sichuan-Chongqing region and clarify the prevalence,geographical distribution and demographic characteristics.A total of more than 12,000 children and adolescents under 18 years old with a diagnosis of depression/anxiety disorders/ASD/ADHD based on DSM-5 criteria is included to build a research platform and database,so that we will formulate intelligence diagnosis and treatment standards.This study will establish the "Children and Adolescents Mental and Developmental Disabilities Innovation Alliance" in Sichuan and Chongqing areas and finally build intelligent early warning,diagnosis and intervention systems for disease in hope that technology transformation to be promoted and applied.
- Detailed Description
1. Procedures. From January 2023 to December 2023,obtain the number of primary school students in the nine economic zones of Sichuan and Chongqing, and calculate the proportion of primary school students in each region. Randomly select 2-3 classes from each school's grade (determined based on the proportion of primary school students in each functional region and class size), and use class clusters as the research object. Establish the "Children and Adolescents Mental and Developmental Disabilities Innovation Alliance" in Sichuan and Chongqing areas.From January 2023 to December 2025,finish collecting the required sample size for four types of mental and psychological disorders. Bring into children and adolescents who meet the standards and build the epidemiological database. Develop and continuously improve different intervention plans for Moca and systematic aerobic exercise training in patients with DD, AD, ASD, and ADHD, and apply neuroregulatory techniques to evaluate and treat the aforementioned diseases.During 2025,build intelligent early warning,diagnosis and intervention systems for disease.Finally promote the application of databases and intelligent diagnosis and treatment systems in multiple institutions in more than 10 districts and counties in Sichuan-Chongqing region,with no less than 500 users per unit.
2. Demographic questionnaire and clinical data. The demographic questionnaire is completed by the child's primary caregiver, detailing child's name, gender, date of birth, height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate. Clinical data will be ascertained from the medical records, including information about DSM-5 diagnosis, disease classification, current treatment, and comorbid conditions.
3. Sample size.This study is an interventional trial. The total number of samples in the database reached\>12000. Among them, the total number of depressive disorders reached\>5000, the total number of anxiety disorders reached\>5000, the total number of autism spectrum disorders reached\>1000, and the total number of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder reached\>1000. Children with depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are required to complete four years of follow-up and intervention. Blood samples will also need to be collected from each child included in the database. Adopt a set of wearable diagnosis and treatment equipment for common mental, psychological and developmental behavioral disorders in children and adolescents, and establish an auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system through brain imaging, brain function imaging, and neuromodulation technology. At the same time, differentiated intervention is carried out in aerobic exercise, quotient theory, and executive skills training, supplemented by the CCBT theory Moca system, structured psychotherapy and artificial intelligence technology, and combined with the auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system to build an intelligent early warning, diagnosis and intervention system.
4. Statistical analysis.All the data are analyzed using SPSS 25.0 or R language,which enters by a dedicated person,and checks by three people to ensure accurate data entry.Statistical analysis is completed under the guidance of professional statistical analysts from the Epidemiology Research Office of the project leader's unit.
5. Ethical matters and data protection. Before epidemiological survey,children and guardians participating in the study signed a consent form and schools signed a disclaimer.During the study,medical ethics laws and regulations were strictly observed,and psychiatrists,psychologists and pediatricians participated in the entire process to provide health protection for children.And they protect the privacy of subjects and do not disclose subjects' information.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in the Social Responsive Scale(SRS). 3 years Children are followed up every 3 months, and at each follow-up point, the SRS is used to assess a child's level of social sensitivity and interpersonal skills. The SRS score ranges from 0 to 68, where 0 to 15 is considered low risk, 16 to 30 is considered medium risk, and 31 to 68 is considered high risk.
Changes in the Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders Scale（SCARED）. 3 years Conducting follow-up assessments every 3 months using the Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders Scale（SCARED）scores reflect children's anxiety symptoms mainly from five dimensions: somatization/panic, generalized anxiety, dissociative anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia of children at different follow-up points. Score 0-3 ("not at all" is 0, "sometimes" is 1, and "very often" is 2). Scores greater than or equal to 23 indicate the possibility of anxiety.The higher the score, the higher the level of anxiety.
Changes in Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties（QCD） 3 years Follow-up assessments every 3 months, using the Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties (QCD) scores, reflect children's psychological issues and behavioral difficulties. The scoring range of the QCD questionnaire may vary depending on the specific version or rating system. For example, certain rating systems may categorize scores into levels of severity such as mild, moderate, or severe difficulties. Higher scores may indicate higher levels of psychological difficulties or disorders. Conversely, lower scores may suggest fewer problems or mild manifestations.
Changes in the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale 2 years The use of the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale scores in follow-up visits every three months reflects the ADHD symptomatology of children at different follow-up milestones. The total score of the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale can range from 0 to 54. A higher score indicates a greater likelihood of ADHD symptoms or difficulties with attention and behavior.
Changes in the Autism Behavior Scale(ABC). 3 years Conducting follow-up assessments every 3 months using the Autism Behavior Scale (ABC) scores reflect five dimensions, including sensation, communication, body movement, language and self-care. The total score ranges from 0 to 158. Higher scores may indicate that the child has more severe symptoms of developmental disorders such as autism.
Change in the Parenting Stress Index(PSI). 3 years Conducting follow-up assessments every 3 months using the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) ,which is a popular brief assessment of parenting stress. The higher score indicates more anxious the parents are.
Change in the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). 3 years Conducting follow-up assessments every 3 months using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) score reflects key sleep domains that encompass the major medical and behavioral sleep disorders. It's a useful sleep screening instrument to identify both behaviorally based and medically-based sleep problems in school-aged children, which could get the children's sleep time, total score of sleep quality and scores of eight dimensions. A total score higher than 54 points indicates poor sleep quality.
Change in the Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) . 3 years CES-DC is specially designed to evaluate the frequency of current depressive symptoms in children. It focuses on depressive affect or mood, reflecting the depressive mood, guilt and worthlessness, helplessness and hopelessness, and psychomotor retardation of the depressive state. , loss of appetite, sleep disorders.
