“…No studies in Nigeria have validated self-report mental health assessment tools for adolescents. Efforts have been made to assess prevalence of depression and anxiety among Nigerian adults (Adewuya et al ., 2006, 2018; Ogunsemi et al ., 2010; Amoran et al ., 2012), to assess substance use and behavior disorder in adolescents (Atilola et al ., 2016; Olagundoye et al ., 2018; Tunde-Ayinmode et al ., 2012), and to examine psychometric properties of mental health screening tools among children (Omigbodun et al ., 1996; Omigbodun & Gureje, 2004; Adeniyi & Omigbodun, 2018), yet several gaps remain. These studies relied on either English versions of assessment tools or simple translation/back translation tasks, rather than rigorous cultural adaptation techniques that are needed to ensure not only semantic but also content equivalence of items prior to validation.…”

BackgroundThe Boko Haram insurgency has brought turmoil and instability to Nigeria, generating a large number of internally displaced people and adding to the country's 17.5 million orphans and vulnerable children. Recently, steps have been taken to improve the mental healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria, including revamping national policies and initiating training of primary care providers in mental healthcare. In order for these efforts to succeed, they require means for community-based detection and linkage to care. A major gap preventing such efforts is the shortage of culturally appropriate, valid screening tools for identifying emotional and behavioral disorders among adolescents. In particular, studies have not conducted simultaneous validation of screening tools in multiple languages, to support screening and detection efforts in linguistically diverse populations. We aim to culturally adapt screening tools for emotional and behavioral disorders for use among adolescents in Nigeria, in order to facilitate future validation studies.MethodsWe used a rigorous mixed-method process to culturally adapt the Depression Self Rating Scale, Child PTSD Symptom Scale, and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale. We employed expert translations, focus group discussions (N = 24), and piloting with cognitive interviewing (N = 24) to achieve semantic, content, technical, and criterion equivalence of screening tool items.ResultsWe identified and adapted items that were conceptually difficult for adolescents to understand, conceptually non-equivalent across languages, considered unacceptable to discuss, or stigmatizing. Findings regarding problematic items largely align with existing literature regarding cross-cultural adaptation.ConclusionsCulturally adapting screening tools represents a vital first step toward improving community case detection.

“…Similarly, a rise in different forms of bullying has been reported in many Pakistani newspapers (Alam and Siddiqui, 2015;Kanza, 2017). The growing involvement of youth in violent and criminal acts is becoming a serious challenge to both developed and developing worlds including Pakistan (Ahmed et al, 2020;Omigbodun and Gureje, 2004). So, it is necessary to construct tools to measure aggression for planning timely interventions.…”

Purpose Aggression is an undesirable behavior that assaults traditions norms, morals and standards of ethics practiced in society. To address the scarceness of identification tools and for evidence-based interventions in Pakistan, the purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which aggression is prevalent in Pakistan’s people by newly developed self-reported questionnaires in the Urdu language designed after reviewing the cultural and social perspectives of the society. Design/methodology/approach The research design was based on principles of scale development followed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A subject matter expert panel technique was adopted where educationists from diversified backgrounds helped to generate items and to establish content validity. Findings The three-factor construct has been supported by factor analysis. These analyzes identified aggression measures in terms of direct aggression, displaced aggression and indirect aggression. The model has established inner consistency, reliability and validity. Furthermore, the impact of age and gender on different forms of aggression was explored and discussed. Originality/value Aggression is a distinctive trait of many psychiatric disturbances. To undertake the dearth of identification tools and for evidence-based interventions in Pakistan, it was necessary to develop a tool for identification to address aggression issues among common people. This research is devised to develop a self-reported questionnaire in the Urdu language keeping cultural and social perspectives of society.

The study examined the common parental style and its influence on children’s aggressive behavior and academic achievements among Pakistani Children. One hundred and twenty parents (44 father and 76 mothers) and their preteen and teenaged children (46 boys and 84 girls) aged between 9 and 19 years were randomly selected from Karachi, Pakistan. Pakistani families in UAE, Ireland, and United Kingdom were randomly selected and included in studies. Academic achievements of children were found by demographic information. Parents filled in section A of the questionnaires, which measured parental styles in terms of their beliefs and practices and classified them into permissive, autocratic, and active parents. Children of the same parents filled section B of the same questionnaire to measure children’s antisocial behavior and aggression. Commonly found parenting style is authoritative and parenting practices are free of parents’ gender. Direct relation of autocratic parenting styles on increased level of aggression and diminution of academic achievement of child is found through regression analysis. Independent sample t test and one-way analysis of variance revealed similar trends in the development of aggression among girls and boys of different age groups. Similarly, academic achievements and aggression of children are found independent of each other. The impact of parent’s gender, qualification, and professionalism on parenting was also explored in the current study. Parent’s gender and educational achievements have no impact on parenting practices; however, profession of parent has influence on adoption of parenting practices in case of autocratic parenting style and further needs to be explored. Further research to surface other factors contributing to the development of aggression among juveniles is recommended.
