“…Studies from other regions of SSA typically administered the ASEBA forms in one of the local languages (e.g., Swahili or Luo in Kenya). Two Kenya-based studies obtained official Swahili translations from ASEBA (Magai et al, 2018, 2021). At least one study from Uganda used the Luganda translation of the CBCL prepared by Bangirana and colleagues (2009).…”

Objective: Behavioural screening tools may be used to identify at-risk children in resource limited settings in sub-Saharan Africa. The ASEBA forms (Child Behaviour Checklist and Youth Self-Report) are frequently translated and adapted for use in sub-Saharan African populations, but little is known about their measurement properties in these contexts. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of all published journal articles that used the ASEBA forms with sub-Saharan African samples. We evaluated the reported psychometric properties, as well as the methodological quality of the psychometric evaluations, using COSMIN (COnsensus based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) guidelines. Results: Fifty-eight studies reported measurement properties of the ASEBA forms. Most studies came from Southern (n = 29, 50%) or East African (n = 25, 43%) countries. Forty-nine studies (84%) used translated versions of the tool, but details regarding the translation process, if available, were often sparse. Most studies (n = 47, 81%) only reported internal consistency (using coefficient alpha) for one or more subscales. The methodological quality of the psychometric evaluations ranged from very good to inadequate across all measurement properties, except for internal consistency. Conclusion: There is limited good quality psychometric evidence available for the ASEBA forms in sub-Saharan Africa. We recommend (i) implementing a standardised procedure for conducting and reporting translation processes, and (ii) conducting more comprehensive psychometric evaluations of the translated versions of the tools.

“…Various studies have demonstrated an association between neonatal jaundice and neurological damage [ 35 , 36 ]. Several LMICS have also reported high rates of bilirubin-induced neurodevelopmental disorders and/or neurological impairments [ 37–39 ], which can subsequently manifest as behavioural or emotional problems [ 40 ]. A prospective cohort study carried out in Finland reported an association between hyperbilirubinemia and neurobehavioral problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children [ 41 ].…”

Background Neurological conditions and mental health problems are common in children in low- and middle-income countries, but the risk factors and downstream impact of these problems on children with neurological conditions are not reported. Objective To determine the association of neurological conditions with behavioural and emotional problems in children, the prevalence and risk factors of behavioural and emotional problems, and long-term impact of these conditions. Methods Data on multiple neurological conditions and mental health problems were available for 1,616 children (aged 6–9 years) from Kilifi, Kenya. Neurological conditions were diagnosed using standardised tools and clinical examination. Behavioural and emotional problems assessed using Child Behaviour Questionnaire for Parents. Long-term outcomes were obtained from census data of the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System. Logistic and linear regression were used to measure associations. Results Mental health problems were higher in those with any neurological condition compared to those without (24% vs. 12%, p < 0.001). Cognitive (odds ratio (OR) = 2.39; 95% CI: 1.59–3.59), motor (OR = 3.17; 95% CI: 1.72–5.82), hearing (OR = 2.07; 95% CI:1.12–3.83) impairments, and epilepsy (OR = 4.18; 95% CI: 2.69–6.48), were associated with mental health problems. Prevalence of any mental health problem was 15%, with externalizing problems more common than internalizing problems (21% vs. 17%, p = 0.004). Longitudinal follow-up indicated that the disorders affected an individual’s future schooling (e.g. OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 0.14–1.46 following cognitive impairments), occupation (OR = 2.44; 95% CI: 1.09–5.44 following mental health problems), and access to household assets (OR = 2.78; 95% CI: 0.99–7.85 following epilepsy). Conclusions Neurological conditions in school-aged children in Kilifi are associated with mental health problems, and both disorders have long-term consequences. Preventive and therapeutic measures for these conditions are needed to improve outcomes of these children.
