Validation of the model of Sustainable Mental Health in a sample of parents of neurodivergent children
Method Stream: Other
ECs: Only 14 EC (standard, no new/own data collection. Applicable in case of a clinical internship)
Description:
The model of sustainable mental health has been theoretically described (Bohlmeijer & Westerhof, 2021) and first validated in a general Dutch speaking sample (Kloos et al., 2023). This validation has shown a good fit of the model. To strengthen the evidence for this model, we aim to validate it in a population of parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD, autism, intellectual disabilities) with Structural Equation Modeling. Data is already available, as it is collected in an effectiveness study on an intervention for parents of neurodivergent children.
