Summary

A significant group of children with functional constipation (FC) continues to have symptoms despite recommended standard therapy. Underlying psychiatric problems could explain therapy resistance. However, a work-up for psychiatric problems is only recommended after unsuccessful 6 months standard therapy. Earlier detection and check-up could lead to faster start-up of a more adequate therapy. Therefore, we investigate the prevalence of emotional, behavioural and social problems in the FC-population at the first contact with a paediatric gastroenterologist in a tertiary care hospital.

Screening Questionnaires

Measurement tools: * Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) is a validated 65-item scale for the screening of ASD that requires parents to rate the child's behaviors in the previous 6 months. The questionnaire assesses interpersonal behavior, communication and repetitive/stereotypic behavior characteristics of ASD. * The Aseba Questionnaires are validated diagnostic tools that can be filled in by the parents, teachers or children to evaluate various behavioral and emotional problems. The CBCL assesses internalizing (i.e., anxious, depressive and over-controlled) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactive, noncompliant and under-controlled) behaviors. * The VG\&O The VG\&O is a questionnaire developed in Dutch that gives a subscale of parental stress (OBVL), family functioning (VGFO), education habits (VSOG) and life events (VMG). The OBVL will be used
