The PSC will be completed by the parents of 71 Kindergarten school children. The PSC also will be spread to the targeted participant by public health care staff. A follow-up interview has conducted with the children with symptoms. A multidisciplinary team formed to analyse the case at hand. The result revealed that 7 from 71 preschool children are positively suspected behavioural, emotional and psychosocial disorder consist of 3 males and the rest 4 are females.
