Abstrakt: Tic disorders, including Tourette Syndrome, are prevalent yet frequently overlooked conditions, often leading to delayed diagnoses. Given their substantial overlap with other emotional-behavioral disorders, timely identification is crucial. However, existing screening tools for tics are limited, and research has predominantly been conducted within specialized settings, lacking diversity. To bridge these gaps, we present a collection of studies exploring innovative screening and diagnostic approaches for tic disorders in youth. Screening and early detection may improve access to intervention and secondary prevention, improving outcomes for individuals with tic disorders and their families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
