Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adolescents aged 11–18 with parental/guardian consent who can read and complete questionnaires independently are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Those outside the 11–18 age range, without parental consent, or with reading/sensory impairments or acute severe psychiatric conditions that prevent reliable questionnaire completion are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational project enrolls adolescents aged 11–18 and collects multidimensional psychometric data from both the teenager and a parent or guardian using standardized questionnaires. No treatments are given; data are gathered to identify patterns of symptoms and early warning signs of anxiety, mood, and behavioral problems. Participants must be able to read and complete the questionnaires independently and provide parental consent. The study is conducted at the IRCCS Neurolesi Bonino Pulejo in Messina and aims to inform targeted early interventions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help detect mental health problems earlier and guide more targeted support or referrals for adolescents.
How similar studies have gone: Similar multi-informant questionnaire approaches have been widely used and can improve identification of at-risk youth, although predictive accuracy and long-term outcomes vary across studies.
