Description
For sample children age 4-17 who had ever received non-pharmacological treatment for emotional or behavioral difficulties (DIFTRETEV), DIFTRETWHEN reports parents' responses to the follow-up question, "When was the MOST RECENT help or treatment received?" Interviewers handed respondents a flashcard and asked them to select the appropriate response from the following choices: "In the past 6 months," "7 to 12 months ago," "More than 12 months ago."
Related Variables
Parents of sample children age 4-17 who had ever received non-pharmacological treatment for emotional or behavioral difficulties were also asked about the source of this treatment.
More specifically, interviewers asked:
- Was any of this treatment or help received from any of the following?
- A pediatric or general medical care practice (TRETGENERAL)
- A mental health private practice (TRETMHPRIV)
- A mental health clinic or center (TRETMHCLIN)
- The child's school (TRETSCHOOL)
- Other (TRETOTHER)
All of these questions were part of a series of questions about emotional/behavioral difficulties included in the Child Mental Health Services (CMS) Questionnaire. According to the Field Representative's Manuals for 2005 forward, the purpose of the CMS Questionnaire "is to identify the Sample Child's interaction with health professionals or school staff personnel related to emotional or behavioral problems." For a summary of the various elements of the Child Mental Health Services Questionnaire and the variables based upon this instrument, see DIFTOLDDR.
