Parents and adolescents will not be excluded if the adolescent scores in the clinically elevated range (as determined by published clinical cut-off scores) on either the SMFQ or SCAS (either parent- or child-report form) at baseline. However, by assessing baseline symptoms, we will be able to conduct post-hoc analyses in which we exclude adolescents who scored above the clinical cut-off scores at baseline.
The cut-off scores used are as follows:
SMFQ (parent- or child-report versions): 8 or more
SCAS (Child-report):
For male children: Scores of 48 or more.
For female children: Scores of 51 or more.
SCAS (Parent-report):
For male children: Scores of 24 or more.
For female children: Scores of 26 or more.
