‘Dimensions of cognition, behaviour, and mental health in struggling learners: A spotlight on girls’.

Open Access paper from JCPP Advances

Background – “Fewer girls than boys are identified as struggling at school for suspected problems in attention, learning and/or memory. The objectives of this study were to: i) identify dimensions of cognition, behaviour and mental health in a unique transdiagnostic sample of struggling learners; ii) test whether these constructs were equivalent for boys and girls, and; iii) compare their performance across the dimensions.”
