    Extension oftheScoring Scale

    Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100.

    ScoringProcedure

    Step 1: Transform Score

    Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows:0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0.

    Step 2: Calculate Scores

    Score by Dimensions:

    If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the scale scoresshould not be computed.

    Mean score = Sum of the items over the number of items answered.

    Psychosocial Health Summary Score = Sum of the items over the number ofitems answered in the Emotional, Social, and School Functioning Scales.

    Extension of theScoring Scale Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100.

    Scoring Procedure

    Step 1: Transform Score

    Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale asfollows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0.

    Step 2: Calculate Scores by Dimensions

    If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the scale scoresshould not be computed,

    Mean score = Sum of the items over the number of items answered.

    There is no Total Score

    Interpretation andAnalysis

    of Missing Data

    If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the Scale Scoresshould not be computed.

    Step 2: Calculate Scores by Dimensions

    If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the scale scoresshould not be computed,

    Mean score = Sum of the items over the number of items answered.

    There is no Total Score

    Interpretation

    and Analysisof Missing Data

    If more than 50% of the items in the scale are missing, the Scale Scores
