“…It has been estimated that up to one-third of children with ADHD have comorbid anxiety disorders [30,56,69], with median odds-ratio estimates of 3.0 (95 % CI 2.1-4.3) [23]. Results from the NIMH Collaborative Multisite Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (MTA) demonstrated that children with ADHD and comorbid anxiety disorders responded worse to treatment and had lower scores on measures of academic achievement before treatment than children without comorbid anxiety [70].…”

Research investigating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and co-occurring disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety, and depression has surged in popularity; however, the developmental relations between ADHD and these comorbid conditions remain poorly understood. The current paper uses a developmental psychopathology perspective to examine conditions commonly comorbid with ADHD during late childhood through adolescence. First, we present evidence for ADHD and comorbid disorders. Next, we discuss emotion regulation and its associations with ADHD. The role of parenting behaviors in the development and maintenance of emotion regulation difficulties and comorbid disorders among children with ADHD is explored. An illustrative example of emotion regulation and parenting over the course of development is provided to demonstrate bidirectional relations among these constructs. We then present an integrated conceptual model of emotion regulation as a shared risk process that may lead to different comorbid conditions among children with ADHD. Implications and directions for future research are presented.

“…It has also been used successfully for clinical evaluation in clinical settings and as a research tool. Studies undertaken in different cultures have shown that it possesses fair reliability and good criterion and convergent validity [8-10]. Regarding the internal structure there are a large number of studies confirming the existence of the aforementioned five theoretical dimensions, using both exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis [10,11].…”

Regarding the internal structure there are a large number of studies confirming the existence of the aforementioned five theoretical dimensions, using both exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis [10,11]. However there are also discrepancies, some authors reporting three [12-15] and four factor solutions [16], and a few others who could not even find a clinically meaningful solution.…”

Psychometric behaviour of the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) in the Spanish national health survey 2006

BackgroundThe Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a tool to measure the risk for mental disorders in children. The aim of this study is to describe the diagnostic efficiency and internal structure of the SDQ in the sample of children studied in the Spanish National Health Survey 2006.MethodsA representative sample of 6,773 children aged 4 to 15 years was studied. The data were obtained using the Minors Questionnaire in the Spanish National Health Survey 2006. The ROC curve was constructed and calculations made of the area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity and the Youden J indices. The factorial structure was studied using models of exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA).ResultsThe prevalence of behavioural disorders varied between 0.47% and 1.18% according to the requisites of the diagnostic definition. The area under the ROC curve varied from 0.84 to 0.91 according to the diagnosis. Factor models were cross-validated by means of two different random subsamples for EFA and CFA. An EFA suggested a three correlated factor model. CFA confirmed this model. A five-factor model according to EFA and the theoretical five-factor model described in the bibliography were also confirmed. The reliabilities of the factors of the different models were acceptable (>0.70, except for one factor with reliability 0.62).ConclusionsThe diagnostic behaviour of the SDQ in the Spanish population is within the working limits described in other countries. According to the results obtained in this study, the diagnostic efficiency of the questionnaire is adequate to identify probable cases of psychiatric disorders in low prevalence populations. Regarding the factorial structure we found that both the five and the three factor models fit the data with acceptable goodness of fit indexes, the latter including an externalization and internalization dimension and perhaps a meaningful positive social dimension.Accordingly, we recommend studying whether these differences depend on sociocultural factors or are, in fact, due to methodological questions.

“…These limitations include: (a) a focus on clinical diagnosis (e.g., Conners, ) and limited examination of frequent, but problematic behaviours seen among children with subclinical problems (Goodman, ); (b) in addition, most measures focus on older children with limited screening tools available for children under age 5 (Bagner, Rodríguez, Blake, Linares, & Carter, ; Briggs‐Gowan et al., ). Furthermore, most measures: (c) take a deficit approach and do not examine behavioural competencies (Tsang, Wong, & Lo, ); (d) a focus on only one type of behaviour (e.g., Kovacs, ) or only on internalising (e.g., Spence, ) or externalising (e.g., Eyberg & Pincus, ) behaviour. The other problematic issues with the existing measures include: (e) low to moderate estimates of internal consistency (e.g., Strengths and Diffiuclites Questionnaires .51–.76; Smedje, Broman, Hetta, & von Knorring, ); (f) measures such as the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) (Achenbach, ) that are lengthy and time consuming for parents to complete (Goodman & Scott, ); and (g) licensing fees, which can place limits on dissemination in large population studies (e.g., Eyberg & Pincus, ; Goodman, ).…”

This study examined the psychometric characteristics of the Child Adjustment and Parent Efficacy Scale (CAPES). The CAPES was designed as a brief outcome measure in the evaluation of both public health and individual or group parenting interventions. The scale consists of a 30-item intensity scale with two subscales measuring children's behaviour problems and emotional maladjustment and a 20-item self-efficacy scale that measures parent's self-efficacy in managing specific child problem behaviours. A sample of 347 parents of 2-12-year-old children participated in the study. Psychometric evaluation of the CAPES revealed that both the intensity and self-efficacy scales had good internal consistency, as well as satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity. Potential uses of the measure and implications for future validation studies are discussed.
