Swedish norms for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for children 3–5 years rated by parents and preschool teachers

Abstract: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a widespread tool for assessing behavior problems in children and adolescents. Despite being investigated thoroughly concerning both validity and reliability, peer reviewed studies that provide norms, especially for preschool children, are lacking.

“…Results from the facilitation program might not be applicable to lower SES populations served by health units. Participating parents in the trial had higher education level, were more likely to have been born in Sweden and more likely to be cohabiting than the population average (p < 0.001 for all) [32].

The preschooler whose subscale score is above or equal to the 80th percentile (indicating borderline and abnormal) will be identi ed as having problems on this subscale [32].
