Abstract: The Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA) assesses mental health and social functioning of people <18 years. We explored the psychometric properties of the HoNOSCA Italian version. Dimensionality was assessed by Exploratory Factor Analysis and validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Internal consistency and reliability of the factorial structure were evaluated. One hundred thirty-four subjects were assessed by HoNOSCA, Clinical Global Impression and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for concurrent validity. Intraclass correlation was computed to evaluate inter-rater reliability using eight vignettes assessed by 35 professionals.
