1,812 students from Ulaanbaatar and the local area, 1,812 teachers, and 1,812 parents, a total of 5,436 participants are participating in the pilot study. In this study, one of the most widely used strengths assessment tools in social services is the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-2 (BERS-2), which includes separate rating scales for youth, parents, and teachers. Although the three assessment forms are similar, a few items have been slightly worded to better reflect the views of Mongolian youth, parents, and teachers. The Interpersonal Strengths subscale (14 items) measures a child’s ability to interact with others in social situations. Family involvement (10 items) assesses the child’s relationship with the family. The internal self-efficacy subscale (11 items) focuses on how the child perceives his or her own functioning. The school functioning subscale (9 items) assesses the child’s performance and abilities in school. The Power Influence subscale (7 items) measures a child’s ability to exert and receive influence from others.

The main results of the study are presented as follows.

1. 1. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for test validity was 0.816.

2. 2. Behavioral and emotional indicators of the surveyed teenagers are 34.56% on average.

3. 3. In terms of self-esteem of teenagers, their behavioral and emotional indicators are 47.6% or average; parents - 33.3%; teachers are 29.6%.
