Development and validation of the perceived expressed emotion scale for adolescents (pees-gap).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCurrent assessments of expressed emotions among the psychiatric population face significant limitations in reliability and validity, particularly for non-clinical adolescent populations. Existing scales are designed for clinical settings and lack applicability to broader contexts. This study addresses these gaps by developing and validating the Perceived Expressed Emotion Scale for the General Adolescent Population (PEES-GAP). Tailored specifically for adolescents outside clinical environments, PEES-GAP enhances utility and effectiveness, offering a robust, reliable, and valid tool to assess emotional dynamics in diverse settings, representing a significant advancement in expressed emotion research.
methodsThe study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design, using accidental sampling techniques to recruit participants. One thousand seven hundred forty-one students were selected from six secondary schools and three universities from three southwestern Nigeria states to complete the questionnaires. Instruments for data collection included the Perceived Expressed Emotion Scale (PEES-GAP), Index of Family Relation (IFR), and Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST). Ethical clearance for this study was sought and obtained from the University of Lagos Ethical Review Committee.
resultsThe study showed that PEES-GAP's internal consistency was 0.800, while validity analyses proved that the Index of family Relation (IFR) and Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) converged and diverged, respectively, with the three subdomains of expressed emotion as measured by PEES-GAP.
conclusionThis study confirms the 20-item PEES-GAP as a reliable, valid tool for assessing expressed emotion in adolescents across clinical and non-clinical settings. Ensuring comparability and broad application offers a uniform measure, promotes holistic understanding, and enhances resource efficiency. Hence, it comprehensively addresses mental health issues from the client's perspective.
