“…Consequently, the 90th percentile in a community sample is often chosen as the threshold for different child psychiatric screening instruments (e.g. (10,25)). Using a cut-off of 14, which is at the 90th percentile in the present study, yields a specificity of 91%, a sensitivity of 70% and a PPV of 87% of the Total Difficulties Scale.…”

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is an internationally widely used, brief screening instrument for mental health problems in children and teenagers. The SDQ probes behaviours and psychological attributes reflecting the child's difficulties as well as strengths, and targets hyperactivity/inattention, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer problems and prosocial behaviour. Also, the instrument taps the impact aspect, i.e. whether the child is judged to suffer from emotional or behavioural problems severe enough to cause distress or social impairment. Studies of the original English SDQ, as well as of translations into several other languages, attest to a compelling usefulness and validity of the instrument. In this investigation, the adequacy of the Swedish adaptation of the SDQ (SDQ-Swe) was tested in comparisons between parent reports on 5-15-year-old children drawn from a community sample (n=263) and from a child psychiatric sample (n=230). Results showed that the instrument differentiated well between the community and the psychiatric samples, the latter displaying more symptoms, fewer strengths and more social impairment. Moreover, ROC analyses showed satisfactory sensitivity and specificity of the principal scales of the SDQ-Swe at proposed cut-offs. Hence, results showed adequate validity of the SDQ-Swe, suggesting that this new instrument, an instrument in tune with the ideas of contemporary child psychiatry and psychology, is a useful tool for mental health screening in children and adolescents.

“…The age-and sex-specific cutoff points at the 83rd percentile were used for the limit of normal range functioning. 33,34,38 Of the parents, 302 (83.2%) returned the questionnaire. The analysis of dropouts showed that children of parents who returned the questionnaire did not differ from all those included in the study according to the mean depression and sleep scores or mean total fibromyalgia tender point count.…”

“…The validity and reliability of the instrument has been well documented, eg, in the United States 33,34 and in Finland. 38 The instrument gives a total behavior problem score and two broad-band subscores, externalizing (E) and internalizing (I). The E-scale includes variables such as aggression, disorderly conduct, delinquent behavior, hyperactivity, and cruelty.…”

“…The instrument includes age-and sex-specific cut-off points for the limit of normal range functioning, on the basis of the analyses of clinical and non-clinical samples of Achenbach (6). The 90th percentile cut-off point has been found to be similar in American and Finnish population samples (7). The validity and reliability of the CBCL is well documented-for example, in the USA (6) and Finland (7).…”

ISSN 0803-9488.The present study reports changes in the behaviour and emotional symptoms of 53 children placed in children's home care during a 2.5-year follow-up period, using the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) filled out by the staff members. Almost three-quarters of the children and adolescents in care showed impairment in the CBCL total scores during the period. Externalizing symptoms such as aggressivity, delinquency, and attention problems were significantly increased during the period. Twenty-five per cent of the children deteriorated from normal range to clinical range. Placement under the age of 7 years and a history of individual psychotherapy were related to a better prognosis for changes in CBCL mean scores. The present study suggests that many children with long-term placements in children's homes are in need of specially planned treatment for psychologic and social problems.• Child and adolescent psychiatry, Children's homes, Follow-up, Residential care.
