Abstract

Mental health literacy is an essential part of preventing mental illnesses. However, the quality of mental health literacy measures remain unknown, as does its universality across various settings and populations. Few studies focus on measures aimed at assessing mental health literacy of children and adolescents that covers knowledge about mental health and mental disorders, strategies to decrease stigma, and enhancement of help-seeking efficacy. The present study aimed to conduct a systematic search to find available measures of mental health literacy of children and adolescents under the age of 19 years. The following databases were searched: Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, ERIC and CINAHL Plus. COSMIN checklist was applied to assess the methodological quality of each study. Twenty-one mental health literacy measures were identified in 18 studies. The quality of the studies ranged between very good and inadequate. Sixteen measures were universal, implying that they were not diagnostic specific. Two measures scored a full score of four on mental health literacy comprehensiveness. This review revealed that the overall quality of the measurement properties was mixed, that there are limited measures available to evaluate non-diagnostic-specific mental health literacy in universal populations of children and adolescents, and that measures fail to cover key mental health literacy components of knowledge of mental health, illness, stigma, and help-seeking. New measures should be developed to cover this gap in the field of child and adolescent mental health.

Appendix II

Standards and measurement properties and its taxonomy based on COSMIN

Content validity

 

 Box 1. PROM development

 

 Box 2. Content validity

The degree to which the content of a PROM is an adequate reflection of the construct to be measured.

Internal structure

 

 Box 3. Structural validity

The degree to which the scores of a PROM are an adequate reflection of the dimensionality of the construct to be measured.

 Box 4. Internal consistency

The degree of the interrelatedness among the items.

 Box 5. Cross-cultural validity\measurement invariance

The degree to which the performance of the items on a translated or culturally adapted PROM are an adequate reflection of the performance of the items of the original version of the PROM

Remaining measurement properties

 

 Box 6. Reliability

The proportion of the total variance in the measurements which is due to ‘true’ differences between patients

 Box 7. Measurement error

The systematic and random error of a patient’s score that is not attributed to true changes in the construct to be measured

 Box 8. Criterion validity

The degree to which the scores of a PROM are an adequate reflection of a ‘gold standard’

 Box 9. Hypotheses testing for construct validity

Hypotheses testing for construct validity refers to the degree to which the scores of a PROM are consistent with hypotheses based on the assumption that the PROM validly measures the construct to be measured.

 Box 10. Responsiveness

The ability of a PROM to detect change over time in the construct to be measured
