Behavioural and emotional symptoms in 8–9-year-old children

Abstract: We present epidemiological data from a multi-centre study on psychiatric symptoms among 6017 8-9-year-old children representing a total annual birth cohort (N = 60007) in Finland. The results are based on three questionnaires: the Rutter Parent Scale (RA2), the Rutter Teacher Scale (RB2), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI).

“…These disabilities can occur alone or in varying combinations and can range from mild to severe. The prevalence of children's emotional and behavioural problems have been reported to range from 5% to 20%, being more common among boys than girls (6)(7)(8)(9) and, the association between learning disabilities and behavioural and emotional problems has been indicated in many previous studies (3,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). They have also been found to be more persistent when they cooccur with behaviour problems in the early school years compared to learning disabilities occurring alone (10,11,13,16,17).…”
