Description
For sample children age 4-17, DIFTRETEV reports parents' responses to the question, "Has [sample child] EVER received ANY treatment or help (other than medication) for difficulties with [his/her] emotions, concentration, behavior or being able to get along with others?"
The Field Representative's Manuals for 2005 forward clarified the meaning of this question as follows:
Parents with an affirmative response in DIFTRETEV received the following additional questions about the child's non-pharmacologic treatment/help:
- When was the MOST RECENT help or treatment received? (DIFTRETWHEN)
- 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.
