Mental health literacy enables adolescents to acquire information that will accompany them in their future lives and to define their attitudes and behaviors. ⋯ This study reveals that the Turkish validity and reliability of the Universal Mental Health Literacy Scale for Adolescents is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mental health literacy among adolescents. The UMHL-A scale is a valid tool to evaluate critical aspects of mental health literacy in adolescent populations and can be used in both research and clinical practice in mental health education and intervention. It is recommended that the Turkish version of the Universal Mental Health Literacy Scale should be used to determine resilience in adolescents.

The coherence theory of truth, the epistemology of evidence-based medicine, mathematical statistics, and axiomatic mathematics. ⋯ Researchers in EBM should be aware of systemic misconceptions in RCT standards. Pre-measurement can reduce shortcomings, e.g. through calculation how sample differences impact on usual RCT processing, or randomisation is given up in favour of mathematical minimisation of sample differences, i.e. optimising statistical sample equality. Moreover, the promising future of dynamic simulation models is highlighted.
