Measuring mental wellbeing in children aged 5 to 12 years: validation of the COMPAS-KIDS and COMPAS-PARENTS mental wellbeing scales in the general community
The COMPAS-KIDS and COMPAS-PARENTS scales are reliable and valid measures of mental wellbeing for children aged 5 to 12 years. The collection of surveys from both child and parent are recommended when measuring mental wellbeing. Future studies could consider validation of the scales in independent cohorts that include both clinical and non-clinical cohorts.
