The closely related web browser application SDQcohort allows using SDQplus for cohorts of individuals (e.g., groups, class of students, client or patient list). Once set up, this application can save up to 75% of your time conducting SDQ assessments and greatly facilitate data export of assessments. SDQcohort allows secure linking of SDQ data to your client/patient IDs to allow integration with your data.
Each member of your cohort is linked to an SDQ ID (the PlusIID). This PlusIID link allows combining and exporting your organisation's demographics and other information with your SDQ assessments. SDQcohort uses strong encryption and to allow your data to be saved on our servers while observing the "data protection by design" principle.
SDQcohort has the capacity to be used on a large scale (up to 1,000 children), with the ability to create cohorts quickly from imported xlsx files. The use of filter tools enables you to generate assessment or view assessment results for a range of individuals. Data can also be transferred between cohorts or even appear simulateously in two or more different groups (e.g. school cohort and therapy cohort).
There are no additional charges for using the SDQplus or SDQcohort applications. You can use the paper-based SDQscore with SDQplus and there is no increase in your fees for assessments; your experience within the SDQscore assessment and scoring application is unchanged. The new self-entered assessments of SDQplus each cost US$1.00, but areemail-able and provide much better reports (PDF included) and softwaretools in the fee. Considerable professional staff effort is saved withself-entry (e.g., 90%) and we have consistent, reliable reports of teachers assessing over 100 students an hour via SDQcohort.
