ing problem levels while controlling for pre-treatment trajectory,

and to seek evidence of a dose-response relationship.

Methods

Six-year follow up data were used from the Tracking

Adolescents’ Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS). We identified ado-

lescents with a clinical level of problem behaviour on the Child

Behaviour Checklist or Youth Self Report and first SMHT between

the ages 13 and 16. Adolescents with a clinical level of problem

behaviour but without SMHT use served as control group. A psychi-

atric case register provided data on number of treatment contacts.

Using regression analysis, we predicted the effect of treatment on

post-treatment problem scores.

Results

Treated adolescents more often had a (severe) diagno-

sis than untreated adolescents. Pre-treatment trajectories barely

differed between treated and untreated adolescents. Treatment

predicted an increase in follow-up problem scores, regardless of

the number of sessions.

Conclusion

The quasi-experimental design calls for modest con-

clusions. Wemight however need to take a closer look at real-world

service delivery, and invest in developing treatments that can

achieve sustainable benefits.

Introduction

Perceived competence (PC) is a self-perception of an

individual in its capabilities and ability to control his environment.

It is posited to orient individuals to the possibility of success and to

facilitate the adoption of approach goals.

Objectives

We aimed to assess the PC of adolescents engaged in

prosocial activities and to determine factors that influence it.

Methods

We led a transversal study, over four months, from June

until September 2016. It included 90 adolescents aged 14–20 years

and members of voluntary association in Sfax (Tunisia). PC was

assessed using the “perceived competence in life domains” (PCLD)

for the life spheres of leisure, interpersonal relationships, school,

and general domains.

Results

The average age of participants was 16 (14 to 20 years).

The samplewas female-dominated (53%). All participantswere sec-

ondary school pupils. Almost 70%were from a high socio-economic

level and over 60% had parents’ high level of education.

The mean scores of PC ranged from 19 (SD = 5.4) in leisure domain

to 16 (SD = 4) in interpersonal relationships domain. PC was signifi-

cantly correlatedwith socio-economic level (

P

= 0.00), participating

in sports and extra- curricular activities (

P

= 0.00), academic profi-

ciency (

P

= 0.01) and smoking (

P

= 0.00).

Conclusion

Overall, our results evidenced the positive self-

perception of competence among adolescents having prosocial

activities. It indicated that high socio-economic level, participating

in sports and extra-curricular activities and smoking were enhanc-

ing factors of adolescents PC.

Introduction

The occurrence of acute leukemia (AL) in childhood

causes a profound upheaval in the child itself and also within his

family. Exposure to this test could contribute to the emergence of

anxiety.

Objective

Ourwork aims to describe the characteristics of anxiety

in this population during the management of the AL.

Patients and methods

Our study, still in progress, is prospec-

tive and conducted among 20 children hospitalised in hematology

department of UMC Hedi Chaker Sfax (Tunisia) during the year

2015–2016. It is performed in two times. The anxiety was assessed

using the STAI scale.

Preliminary results

The average age of our population is 7 years

(minimum age = 4 years, maximum age = 11 years). The majority

of our patients come from urban areas (76.9% of cases). About their

sibling rank, they aremostly the youngest in 53.8% of cases, the old-

est in 30.8% of cases and juniors in 7.7% of cases. The most common

diagnosis is the lymphoblastic B AL (46.2% of cases).

Referring to the STAI scale, 30% of our patients were anxious and

had high scores during the first evaluation. Then, the anxiety level

attenuates gradually duringmanagement period and only 15%were

anxious at the 2nd evaluation time.

Conclusion

Several factors such as hospitalisation, diagnosis

announcement and cancer treatment contribute to the triggering

and maintaining of anxiety. Early detection of anxiety and the good

listening between the care team and the parents could appease the

high level of anxiety and ensure better management.

Introduction

Most parents to childrenwithAutismSpectrumDis-

order (ASD) can report concerns about their child’s development

within the first year of life. In spite of this, children with ASD

are rarely diagnosed before the age of 3–4 years. Early identifica-

tion allows early intervention, which seems to be substantial for

improvement of core behavioural symptoms in children with ASD.

The Child Behaviour Checklist for ages 1½ to 5 (CBCL/1½–5) have

shown promising utility for early detection of children with ASD.

Objectives

This study will estimate the positive predictive value

of CBCL/1½–5 Pervasive Developmental Problems (PDP) scale in a

2 phase screening study. Furthermore, it will analyse the stability

of the CBCL/1½–5 PDP-score in pre-school children from 2½ to 5

years.

Aims

The present study aims to validate CBCL/1½–5 for early

screening of ASD in a general population sample.
