“…Sixteen studies identified individuals with and without DCD/probable DCD via population‐based screening of community samples (Campbell, Missiuna, & Vaillancourt, ; Chen, Tseng, Hu, & Cermak, ; Dewey et al., ; Francis & Piek, ; Harrowell et al., ; van den Heuvel, Jansen, Reijneveld, Flapper, & Smits‐Engelsman, ; King‐Dowling et al., ; Li et al., ; Missiuna et al., ; Piek, Bradbury, Elsley, & Tate, ; Schoemaker & Kalverboer, ; Skinner & Piek, ; Wagner et al., ). Of the remaining studies, five recruited DCD participants through selective or convenience samples such as clinical referrals or support groups (Crane, Sumner, & Hill, ; Hill & Brown, ; Pratt & Hill, ; Wagner, Bös, Jascenoka, Jekauc, & Petermann, ; Watson & Knott, ), one recruited participants through screening a clinical population of children born with extremely low birth weight (Davis et al., ), and one sampled from a monozygotic twin population (Piek et al., ).…”

“…Ten studies confirmed a DCD diagnosis via independent assessment of diagnostic criteria (Chen et al., ; Harrowell et al., ; van den Heuvel et al., ; Missiuna et al., ; Wagner et al., ) or via clinical reports (Crane et al., ; Hill & Brown, ; Pratt & Hill, ; Watson & Knott, ). Thirteen studies identified those as probable DCD based on performance‐based tests of motor function (Davis et al., ; Dewey et al., ; Francis & Piek, ; King‐Dowling et al., ; Li et al., ; Piek et al., ; Schoemaker & Kalverboer, ; Skinner & Piek, ; Wagner et al., ) or by parent‐report questionnaires (Campbell et al., ; Piek et al., ).…”

“…Most studies recruited children and adolescents, with only one study conducted with adults (Hill & Brown, ). Of the child and adolescent studies, ten included adolescents aged 12 or over (Dewey et al., ; Harrowell et al., ; Li et al., ; Missiuna et al., ; Piek et al., ; Pratt & Hill, ; Skinner & Piek, ; adolescent sample; Wagner et al., ; Watson & Knott, ). There was a mix of male and female participants across the studies, with fourteen having majority male participants (Campbell et al., ; male sample; Crane et al., ; Davis et al., ; Dewey et al., ; Francis & Piek, ; Harrowell et al., ; male sample; King‐Dowling et al., ; Missiuna et al., ; Piek et al., ; Pratt & Hill, ; Schoemaker & Kalverboer, ; van den Heuvel et al., ; Wagner et al., ; Watson & Knott, ).…”

“…Six studies explicitly excluded DCD participants with ADHD based on self‐/parent‐/school‐reported diagnoses (Crane et al., ; Hill & Brown, ; Missiuna et al., ; Watson & Knott, ) or based on scores on standardised screening questionnaires (Piek et al., ) or either of the two (Pratt & Hill, ). The remaining studies either did not assess for ADHD (Campbell et al., ; Davis et al., ; Francis & Piek, ; King‐Dowling et al., ; Li et al., ; Piek et al., ; Schoemaker & Kalverboer, ; Skinner & Piek, ; Wagner et al., ) or measured symptoms but did not exclude (Chen et al., ; Dewey et al., ; Harrowell et al., ; van den Heuvel et al., ; Wagner et al., ).…”

“…All outcome measures of internalising symptoms were based on questionnaires. Most studies measured overall internalising symptoms using the Child Behaviour Checklist (Chen et al., ; Dewey et al., ; King‐Dowling et al., ), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Crane et al., ; Harrowell et al., ; van den Heuvel et al., ; Wagner et al., ), Behaviour Assessment System for Children (BASC; Davis et al., ), Teacher Report Form (van den Heuvel et al., ), Kessler‐6 (Li et al., ), or the Intelligence and Developmental Scales (Wagner et al., ). Nine studies specifically measured depressive symptoms using the Children's Depression Inventory (Francis & Piek, ; Missiuna et al., ), Beck Depression Inventory (Hill & Brown, ), Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (Harrowell et al., ), BASC – Depression subscale (Campbell et al., ), Twin and Sibling Questionnaire – Sad Affect subscale (Piek et al., ), or the Birleson Depression Measure (Watson & Knott, ).…”

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects 5%-6% of children. There is growing evidence that DCD is associated with greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety). This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the magnitude of this effect, the quality of the evidence and potential moderators. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify studies reporting a comparison between individuals with DCD/probable DCD and typically developing (TD) individuals on measures of internalising symptoms. A pooled effect size (Hedges g) was calculated using random-effects meta-analysis. Study quality, publication bias and potential moderators of the effect were explored. Results: Twenty studies, including a total of 23 subsamples, met the inclusion criteria, of which 22 subsamples were included in the meta-analysis (DCD: n = 1123; TD: n = 7346). A significant, moderate effect of DCD on internalising symptoms was found (g = 0.61). This effect remained robust after accounting for publication bias and excluding lower quality studies. The effect was significantly larger in studies utilising a cross-sectional design (vs. longitudinal), convenience sampling (vs. population screening) and a majority male sample. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that individuals with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms than their peers. This highlights the importance of routine screening for emotional difficulties in DCD, raising awareness of the condition in mental health services and developing psychosocial interventions that extend beyond a focus on motor impairments. However, there is a need for higher quality, longitudinal studies to better understand the causal relationship between DCD and internalising symptoms.Research indicates that individuals with DCD may be at a greater risk of mental health difficulties. However, there has been no attempt to systematically consolidate this research. This meta-analysis suggests that children and adolescents with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety) than their typically developing peers. This highlights the potential need for routine screening of mental health difficulties in individuals with DCD. It also highlights the need for psychosocial interventions for this population.

Purpose of Review This paper discusses the application of replication research to the study of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), a field that has engaged multiple health disciplines for over four decades. It seeks to answer how replication research can be incorporated into the investigation of DCD, addressing the growing need for validation and verification in the face of increasing published manuscripts. Recent Findings There has been a substantial increase in the number of published manuscripts focusing on various aspects of DCD, including symptoms, assessment, and intervention. This proliferation of research highlights the need for replication studies to ensure the reliability and validity of findings. Summary A systematic literature search conducted reveals that replication research is underrepresented in DCD studies. The paper discusses several likely challenges researchers face if incorporating replication into DCD research and provides recommendations to account for these in future study designs. The emphasis on replication research is expected to enhance the reliability and validity of findings in the field, contributing to more effective assessment and intervention strategies for DCD and impacting future research directions.
