Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The study takes place in all outpatient youth departments (in Arnhem, Ede, Nijmegen and Tiel) of a large mental health care institution in the eastern part of The Netherlands. All families with children and adolescents between 4 and 17 years that are referred to these youth departments receive information about the study. If the child is between 4 and 11 years old, then parents are approached to participate in the study. If the child or adolescent is between 12 and 17 years old, then the child or adolescent is approached to participate in the study. We will include children and adolescents with all kinds of mental health problems (e.g developmental disorders, anxiety disorders and mood disorders) and all kinds of treatment (e.g individual treatment and group treatment, cognitive-behavioral treatment and solution-focused treatment, frequent or irregular treatment) in the study. The children, adolescents and parents that agree to participate sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The only exclusion criterion is insufficient understanding of the Dutch language by the child, adolescent or parents.
Design outcomes
Primary

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Quality of life : measured with the KIDSCREEN-27 parent version and the KIDSCREEN-52 child-adolescent version. 2) Satisfaction with treatment: measured with the Jeugdthermometer child version and the Jeugdthermometer parent versions about the treatment of the child and about the parenting skills training. 3) Number of sessions: will be counted for each client. 4) Length of treatment: will be registered in days for each client. 5) Dropout: will be calculated as the percentage of clients that abandon treatment (registered as unilateral decision to end treatment) in each feedback group.
