Acceptability, reliability, referential distributions and sensitivity to change in the Young Person's Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP‐CORE) outcome measure: replication and refinement

Its status as a free to use measure and the availability of an increasing number of translations makes the YP‐CORE a candidate outcome measure to be considered for routine services.
