A dataset of multidimensional psychological scale assessment of school-withdrawn adolescents in Shanxi Province, China (2022–2026)

Focusing on this practical issue, this study conducted standardized self-report assessments on adolescents who had withdrawn from school at the outpatient Department of Psychiatry, Children's Hospital and Women Health Center of Shanxi Province, China, from July 2022 to August 2026, and constructed a dataset of multidimensional psychological scale assessment of 1,238 school-withdrawn adolescents (mean age 14.01±1.79 years; 67.6% female).

The dataset systematically captures assessment information of 261 items across six standardized scales covering five dimensions: symptoms (SCL-90), emotional disorders (GAD-7, PHQ-9), test anxiety (TAS), peer relationships (Peer Relationship Test), and family environment (FES-CV), and is organized into score-level and item-level granularities. Descriptive analyses showed that the SCL-90 screening positive rate was 84.3%, 33.8% had severe GAD-7 anxiety, 53.3% had moderate-to-severe or above PHQ-9 depression, 71.2% had a relatively high level of test anxiety, and 42.2% had relatively severe peer relationship difficulties, indicating prominent psychological symptoms.
