“…Parent questionnaires offer only one perspective of the child’s behavior, and ratings may be influenced by other factors such as parental psychological functioning and social desirability (Chilcoat & Breslau, 1997; Merydith, Prout, & Blaha, 2003). In this study cohort at ages fiveand seven, children with PCE were rated by examiners as having more behavioral regulation difficulties during structured testing (Accornero et al, 2006b; Accornero et al, 2005), while parent report on the Achenbach Child Behavior Check List at the same age points found no cocaine-related differences in internalizing or externalizing symptoms (Accornero et al, 2006a; Accornero et al, 2002).…”

This study estimated childhood risk of developing selected DSM-IV Disorders, including Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD), in children with prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE). Children were enrolled prospectively at birth (n=476) with prenatal drug exposures documented by maternal interview, urine and meconium assays. Study participants included 400 African-American children from the birth cohort, 208 cocaine-exposed (CE) and 192 non-cocaine-exposed (NCE) who attended a 5-year follow-up assessment and whose caregiver completed the Computerized Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children. Under a generalized linear model (logistic link), Fisher’s exact methods were used to estimate the CE-associated relative risk (RR) of these disorders. Results indicated a modest but statistically robust elevation of ADHD risk associated with increasing levels of PCE (p<0.05). Binary comparison of CE versus NCE children indicated no CE-associated RR. Estimated cumulative incidence proportions among CE children were 2.9% for ADHD (vs 3.1% NCE); 1.4% for SAD (vs 1.6% NCE); and 4.3% for ODD (vs 6.8% NCE). Findings offer suggestive evidence of increased risk of ADHD (but not ODD or SAD) in relation to an increasing gradient of PCE during gestation.

“…In the field of stuttering, there are authors who claim that, despite their importance in the overall process of treatment, parents do not appear to be valid informants [26]. However, studies of behavioural and mental health reveal only slight differences between parents and their children or clinical observers [25,[27][28][29][30]. Some authors [25] point out that parents' responses may be influenced by the desire to please the examiner or to respond as they think is socially acceptable.…”

Background/Aims: Previous research has provided information about how school-aged children perceive their own stuttering; however, less is known about how stuttering is perceived by their parents. The ways that parents view their children's stuttering could influence how the children themselves react to it. This study proceeds to assess how parents' perceptions of the impact of stuttering relate to the perceptions of children. Method: Participants were 50 children who stutter aged 7-12 years (mean = 9.10; SD = 1.7) and their parents, recruited from different cities in Portugal. The European Portuguese version of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering was administered to the children, and an adapted version of the tool was administered to their parents. Results: Both parents and children showed generally similar overall impact ratings, typically falling in the mild and moderate ranges. Differences were observed in families with a history of stuttering: for those families, a comparison of parents' and children's scores revealed, in some domains, that parents perceived the impact of stuttering to be greater than the children did, especially related with children's reactions to stuttering and their quality of life. Conclusion: Knowledge about how parents perceive the impact of stuttering on their children is important because families can play a key role in helping children cope with stuttering. These findings highlight the benefits of using an individualized treatment approach for each child that focuses on their perceptions, as well as on those of the parents, in order to address negative attitudes toward children's stuttering.

“…The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) is a commonly used instrument worldwide to measure the mental health status of children aged 4-18 years [1,2]. Due to its comprehen-siveness in measurement, it is often used as the gold standard for developing other similar assessment tools.…”

“…The English version of CBCL was originally validated in 1989 on a sample of 3000 children, referred and non-referred to mental health services [4]. CBCL and its subscales have been extensively used in research and have shown good validity, reliability, and predictive values [2,4,5,[6][7][8][9][10].…”

Objective To translate the child behaviour checklist (CBCL) into Sinhala and validate it for assessment of mental health status of children aged 5-10 years.Design and setting Translation/back-translation method was used to translate the English CBCL into Sinhala. Each item in the Sinhala CBCL (CBCL-S) was rated by mental health professionals to determine semantics, content, and conceptual validity types. To ascertain criterion validity, total scores obtained for CBCL-S by administering it to parents or parent surrogates of 49 girls and 80 boys aged 5-10 years attending the specialist psychiatry clinics and 69 boys and 69 girls in the same age group from the community were compared with clinical diagnoses by a child psychiatrist. Receiver operator characteristic curves were drawn to obtain the cut-off points in CBCL-S for boys and girls separately.Results Semantics, content, and conceptual and criterion validity of CBCL-S were satisfactory. At the cut-off level of 39, CBCL-S had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 88% for boys and a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 92% for girls. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and inter-interviewer reliability of CBCL-S were satisfactory.Interpretation CBCL-S is a valid and reliable instrument to measure mental health status of Sinhalese children aged 5-10 years in Sri Lanka.
