The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) recently convened an international working group to select outcome measures for anxiety and depression in youth. They are now in the process of consulting experts and opinion leaders through a simple online survey and would greatly appreciate your input. Open until 18 October, we encourage you to share the survey with your members and to complete it yourself. We are excited that WPA’s uniquely global expertise could help inform this important project.
