Summary: The Paediatric Index of Emotional Distress (PI-ED; O'Connor et al., 2016) was developed to screen for emotional distress in children and young people (CYP). It was modeled on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADs; Zigmond & Snaith, 1983). A school-based sample (n = 1026) was employed to examine the PI-ED’s psychometric properties and a clinical sample of CYP (n = 143) was used to establish its sensitivity and specificity, with both samples from the United Kingdom. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified a bi-factor model with a general emotional distress factor (‘cothymia’) and anxiety and depression as cofactors. The PI-ED demonstrated reliability and validity, as well as clinical utility with a cutoff score of 20. The PI-ED is comprised of 14 items (initially it had 16 items, but two were removed during the clinical validity phase), and takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
