“…For example, using a T-score cutoff of 60 on the Internalizing or Externalizing broad-band scales will correctly identify from one quarter to one third of subjects who later developed a DSM-IV disorder while correctly identifying nearly all (88-96%) of subjects who did not develop a disorder. A cutoff of 70 identified at best 20% and at worst only 8% of subjects who developed a disorder, results consistent with previous findings (Edelbrock & Costello, 1988;Shekim et al, 1986) that showed a cutoff of 70 to be too stringent. However, a child with a T-score of 70 or more may be at particularly high risk.…”

“…The correspondence between the clinical diagnosis of DSM-III-R ADHD and the Attention Problems scale of the revised CBCL is consistent with previous studies showing that children with DSM-III ADD have elevated scores on the Hyperactive scale of the previous version of the CBCL (Edelbrock & Costello, 1988;Shekim et al, 1986). These fmdings suggest that the new revised version of the instrument reflects a similar symptom domain to the former version.…”

We evaluated the convergence of CBCL scales with the diagnosis of ADHD and comorbid disorders in 133 ADHD and 118 normal control boys, aged 6-17 years old. We evaluated the strength of association between each CBCL scale and structured-interview derived diagnoses with Total Predictive Value (TPV) and the odds-ratio (OR). Excellent convergence was found between the CBCL Attention Problems scale with the diagnosis of ADHD, between the Delinquent Behavior scale and the diagnosis of CD, and between the Anxiety/Depression scale and the diagnoses of Anxiety Disorders. These findings indicate that the CBCL could serve as a rapid and useful screening instrument to identify comorbid and non-comorbid cases of ADHD.

“…Thus, since lower sensitivity appears to be a consequence of screening maladjusted children in the general population, the similarity between our results with the S-SBQ and those of previous studies using longer checklists with samples drawn partly or wholly from the clinical population is even more remarkable. These results are also consistent with the fi ndings of Shekim et al [1986] with 9-year-old children from the general population. Although limited to the diagnosis of ADDH, their study showed that scores on the CBCL-P hyperactivity scale could discriminate between ADDH(+) and ADDH(-) subjects diagnosed with the DISC.…”

“…military families in the study of Jensen et al [1993]). In fact, only the sample in the study by Shekim et al [1986] was derived from the general population. Their study, however, was limited to the diagnosis of attention defi cit disorder with hyperactivity (ADDH).…”

Can Teachers’ Behavior Ratings Be Used to Screen Early Adolescent Boys for Psychiatric Diagnoses?

et al. 2005

The present study examined if a short, 22-item teacher rating questionnaire could be used to screen young adolescent boys for psychiatric diagnoses. Subjects were 239 12-year-old boys from a community sample of low socioeconomic status families. Child and parent versions of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children were used to provide DSM-III-R diagnoses. Results show a low to moderate screening value for the Short Social Behavior Questionnaire (S-SBQ) scales, with best results for externalizing disorders. The method used to establish the diagnoses had an impact on the screening efficacy of the S-SBQ, higher prevalence rates resulting in a lower proportion of false-positives for the same cutoff point. Additional research is needed to assess the screening efficacy of the S-SBQ across ages and gender, but results suggest that teacher ratings with the S-SBQ could be used to screen boys with externalizing disorders at the end of elementary school.
