Self-monitoring in behavioral medicine: children

Article Abstract:

There are a number of ways in which the accuracy and acceptability of self-monitoring in children can be improved, according to research designed to highlight issues relevant to child self-monitoring. These issues are factors determining compliance with self-monitoring, the circumstances in which it may be appropriate to have a caregiver report as an alternative and the use of self-monitoring only as an assessment strategy. It seems that useful and accurate self-monitoring data can be produced when dealing with a wide range of unconnected medical problems, including childhood injuries and diabetes.

Self-monitoring in assessing children's problems

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the techniques and strategies adopted in students of self-monitoring (SM) for children's problems reveals that SM of academic ability problems by children can be divided into two broad categories. The first category of procedures involves the basic observation and recording of clear behaviours connected with academic performance, while the second includes multiple processes that go much further than the basic recording to individual behaviours. It can be argued that SM should now be ranked alongside other widely accepted behaviour change procedures for children.
