Me and My School Questionnaire is designed to assess emotional and behavioral difficulties in students Ages 8 and older. Its 16 items were specifically designed “so that younger children could easily read and comprehend [them]” (Moffa et al., 2019, p.3). Statements such as “I feel lonely” are rated on a Likert scale (EEF). The questionnaire has been tested in schools across the United States and the UK.
