The prevalence of SDQ-measured mental health problems at age 5–7 years and identification of predictors from birth to preschool age in a Danish birth cohort: The Copenhagen Child Cohort 2000

Abstract: The objective of the study is to investigate the prevalence, distribution and predictors of mental health problems in 5–7-year-old Danish children in the general population. This study is a 5–7-year follow-up study of a birth cohort of 6,090 children, the Copenhagen Child Cohort 2000. The extended version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was answered by parents and pre-school teachers. Data from Danish national registers included perinatal data, socioeconomic data and data on child mental … Show more

“…Despite the fact that investigating country differences was not the main objective of this study (as the selected communities may not necessarily be representative for each country), differences in the prevalence of PES (more specifically mental health problems) across countries have been shown before [55]. Additionally, our results match findings of Elberling et al [65] and Heiervang et al [69] that is lower percentages for PES in more northern countries (see results for Sweden in Table 1). Heiervang and colleagues attributed this finding to under-reporting or under-recognition of emotional symptoms by parents from the north due to their more 'normalizing' view when filling out questionnaires, rather than representing a real (mental) health advantage for the north.…”

“…We did not observe general sex differences in the incidence of PES. Despite possible gender differences in the biological and psychological reaction to stressors [61][62][63][64], the literature has yielded inconclusive results concerning a distinctive prevalence of PES between boys and girls [7,8,19,55,[65][66][67][68]. The type of the studied stressor and PES and the age of the children may account for these contradictory findings.…”

“…Allgemein werden 5-16 % der Kindergartenkinder als sehr, und weitere 19 % als grenzwertig subklinisch verhaltensauffällig beschrieben (Elberling, Linneberg, Olsen, Goodman, Skovgaard, 2010;Hölling, Erhart, RavensSieberer, Schlack, 2007;Tröster u. Reineke, 2007 Demnach gehören hyperkinetische Störungen zu den häufigsten Problembereichen im Kindergarten, wobei 0,7-12,1 % der Kinder Probleme mit Hyperaktivität zeigen (Baker, Neece, Fenning, Crnic, Blacher, 2010;Elberling et al, 2010) und bei 1,9-10,7 % eine Diagnose aus dem Bereich der ADHS vorliegt (Ford, Goodman, Meltzer, 2003;Haffner et al, 2002). Probleme mit Sozialverhalten oder Aggressionen werden bei 3,0-15,8 % berichtet (Elberling et al, 2010;Hölling et al, 2007) und 2,5-6,7 % der Kinder tragen eine Diagnose aus dem Bereich der Störungen des Sozialverhaltens (Haffner et al, 2002;Kim-Cohen et al, 2005). Schwierigkeiten im emotionalen Bereich betreffen 1,5-22,3 % (Baker et al, 2010;Elberling et al, 2010) und bei 3,3-5,1 % liegt eine entsprechende Diagnose vor (Ford et al, 2003;Haffner et al, 2002).…”
