Chapter 3
Adolescent reported problems were not significantly different between western and non-western adolescent (see Table 3) except for the Attention Problems scale (YSR). This was confirmed by the parent (CBCL). Western adolescent (YSR) and their parents (CBCL) reported higher levels on the attention problem scale, respectively 2.38 (p=0.026) and 3.26 (p=0.025) than non-western adolescents and their parents.
