ABSTRACT
The University Outreach Psychological Services for Art Schools is a project of the Centre for Higher Education Studies and Improvement, and the University Outreach Division, of the University of Havana. This project applies the Child and Adolescent Behavior Questionnaire (CABQ) to test psychological aptitudes of Cuban National Ballet School candidates. The CABQ asses typical childhood and adolescence behaviors based on parents or teachers reports. This work explains the potential CABQ relevance as a psychometric instrument for screening of COVID-19 pandemic psychological effects on children and adolescents. The results indicate that the University Outreach Procedures can fulfill the beneficiaries' specific demands while could also be generalized to search suitable solutions to macro-social problems. Overall, this effort brings attention on the need to systematically update University Outreach Procedures to achieve university social responsibility role.
