Measurement Issues: Building a theoretical framework for autism spectrum disorders screening instruments in Europe
ConclusionsMapping these constructs and items on to the DSM‐5 diagnostic criteria for ASD indicated good face and content validity.

Measurement Issues: Dimensionality of oppositional defiant disorder
ConclusionsThe findings support a bifactor model of ODD indicators, but omegas only gave support to the use of a general latent factor, and one specific factor. Network analysis did, however, provide some additional and interesting findings, revealing clusters of strongly connected symptoms and central bridge node symptoms. Implications of the results are discussed. (Source: Child and Adolescent Mental Health)

Editorial: Global child mental health – emerging challenges and opportunities
Children in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC), particularly those living in disadvantaged and conflict‐ridden communities, are faced with extensive unmet health and social care needs (UNICEF, ). A substantial body of research has also provided evidence specifically relating to children's mental health, thereby increasing our understanding regarding the impact of cumulative and interlinked risk factors such as war, conflict and displacement, natural disasters, poverty, child labour and other forms of exploitation.
