Scales

Scales in child and adolescent mental health are standardised measurement tools used to quantify the severity of symptoms or behaviours related to specific disorders. They often provide cut-off scores to indicate clinically significant levels of concern and can be used to track changes over time or in response to treatment. While scales provide valuable quantitative data, they should be interpreted in the context of a comprehensive clinical assessment.
