Led by Professor Jokić-Begić, a translation of the CORE-OM into Croatian fully concordant with our translation protocols has been completed and a first paper about the initial psychometric exploration of the instrument in Croatian was been published. Do  contact me (CE) for more information and a copy of the paper (it’s in Croatian). Based on information from Professor Jokić-Begić the situation in Croatia is now:
In a programme managed by the Croatian Institute of Public Health the YP-CORE has, since 2022, been in standard use for annual health checks of children and adolescents. The feedback has been positive for children over 11 years old but a proportion of the 10/11 years old children find it somewhat difficult to understand and complete on their own. That makes sense to me as I’ve long thought that comprehension of the YP-CORE and similar measures is not a simple function of age but such that some children aged perhaps even younger than 10 will find it fine to understand and meaningful to them whereas some 12 year olds even may find it neither easy to understand nor immediately meaningful. My limited experience with this age range suggests to me that this is much more about family context, education and socioeconomic situation than simply about age. The CORE-OM and CORE-10 are widely used in services and research projects and have supported a growing number of publications. (From Croatia page.)
