The Youth Self-Report (YSR/11-18) is a widely used child-report measure that assesses problem behaviors along two “broadband scales”: internalizing and externalizing. It also scores eight empirically based syndromes and DSM-oriented scales and provides a summary of total problems. Although the YSR was designed for youths ages 11-18, no studies have systematically evaluated whether youths under the age of 11 can make valid reports using the YSR broad-band, syndrome and DSM-oriented scales. It is a parallel form to the caretaker-completed Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and teacher-completed Teacher Report Form (TRF). Few studies related to YSR/11-18 (Achenbach, & Rescorla, 2000, 2001) factor structure were carried out in Spanish children and adolescent population. This study analyses the factor structure of this assessment tool, in 961 Spanish adolescents attending school from 13 to 18 years old. A principal components method was used to extract the factors followed by a Varimax rotation. According to current research, each sex was treated separately, and only items referred to misbehavior (105 out of 119) were included. Seven first-order common factors were found in both, boys and girls: Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Delinquent Behavior, Aggressive Behavior, Attention Problems, Thought Problems and Relational Problems. Factoring of these seven syndromes led to a single second-order factor in younger males. Older males and females showed labeled internalize and externalize symptoms. These results resembled that obtained in former studies with Spanish population.

The present study is to find out the influence of organizational care and support on emotional and behavioral problems of sheltered street children. The sample consist 444 respondents. 176 are from government shelters, and 268 are from non¬ government shelters. For this purpose of investigation Revised Youth Self Report (RYSR), which is a revised form of Youth Self Report (YSR) is an English form of age 11-18 years, devised by Achenbach and Rescorla (2001) and Organizational care and support developed by researcher were used. The data obtained were analyzed through t- test to know the mean difference between the government and non government groups. The street children in government shelters have more behavioral problems such as anxiety, withdrawal, somatic problems, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, rule breaking behavior and aggression than non government sheltered street children. Government sheltered street children have more health problems, and less social support than non government sheltered street children.

The aim of this study is to assess the test-retest stability of the Spanish version of Youth Self Report after 18 mo. for a sample of 357 Catalonian high school students (158 boys and 199 girls). At Time 2 the girls' scores increased on Delinquent and Aggressive Behavior scales and, therefore on Externalizing scores. At Time 2 the boys' scores increased on Attention Problems and Delinquent Behavior and decreased on Anxious/Depressed, Social Problems, and Internalizing scales. Significant differences in the remaining scales were not observed. The test-retest intraclass correlations for the broad-band scales ranged between .62 (Internalizing) and .68 (Externalizing) and for the narrow-band scales between .37 and .67. The correlations for girls and boys were similar but slightly higher for girls on Anxious/Depressed and Thought Problems.

Abstract The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) introduced the research domain criteria (RDoC) initiative to promote the integration of information across multiple units of analysis (i.e., brain circuits, physiology, behavior, self-reports) to better understand the basic dimensions of behavior and cognitive functioning underlying normal and abnormal mental conditions. Along those lines, this study examined the association between peripheral blood gene expression levels and emotional and behavioral problems in school-age children. Children were chosen from two age- and sex-matched groups: those with or without parental reports of any prior or current psychiatric diagnosis. RNA-sequencing was performed on whole blood from 96 probands aged 6–12 years who were medication-free at the time of assessment. Module eigengenes were derived using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Associations were tested between module eigengene expression levels and eight syndrome scales from parent ratings on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Nine out of the 36 modules were significantly associated with at least one syndrome scale measured by the CBCL (i.e., aggression, social problems, attention problems, and/or thought problems) after accounting for covariates and correcting for multiple testing. Our study demonstrates that variation in peripheral blood gene expression relates to emotional and behavioral profiles in children. If replicated and validated, our results may help in identifying problem or at-risk behavior in pediatric populations, and in elucidating the biological pathways that modulate complex human behavior.

The current study assessed the associations between sleep and psychosocial symptoms in 157 Finnish adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sleep trouble was self-rated in Sleep Self-Report (SSR) and in Youth Self-Report (YSR). Psychosocial symptoms of the adolescents were assessed by the YSR and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Patients reporting sleep trouble had significantly more psychosocial symptoms than their counterparts without sleep trouble. This was shown in the CBCL and YSR scales of total problems (P<0.01), anxious/depressed mood (P<0.05), and aggressive behavior (P<0.01). Additionally, SSR sleep problem subscale scores indicating lower sleep quality (bedtime, sleep behavior) associated significantly with attention problems (P<0.05). These results point out that sleep trouble should be recognized and treated in adolescents with IBD to possibly avoid the emerging of psychosocial symptoms.

Background: Adolescents are highly vulnerable to psychiatric disorders, which often have serious negative consequences for their academic achievement and potential social life. The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems among adolescents.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted to identify the emotional and behavioral problems among adolescents using cluster sampling technique. Assessment was done on students of grade 7-11 from two schools in city in Nepal using self-administered questionnaire, Youth Self-Report (YSR-11/18) 2001, developed by Achenbach System of Empirical Based Assessment and self developed socio-demographic questionnaires. Data was coded and analyzed using SPSS (20). Descriptive statistic and inferential statistic (Chi square, Fisher Exact and Odds ratio-OR) were used to analyze data.Results: Altogether 330 adolescents were enrolled in study with mean age 14.3 yrs (range 11-18, male-152, female-178). Prevalence of EBPs was 30.0% (Male-38.8% female-22.5%). Internalizing problems (35.8%) were more common than externalizing (18.5%). Occurrence of EBPs was significantly associated with Sex (OR= 2.2 p=0.001), type of family (OR=1.8 p=0.035) and types of school (private: public OR=2.1 p=0.004).Among narrow band scales most common problems were social (17.6%), thought (15.5%), somatic (13%), anxious depression (12.1%) and aggression(10.3%). There was significant association between sex with EBPs on narrow band scales, male adolescents were more likely to have thought-problem (OR=3.7 p=<0.001, rule-breaking problem (OR=8.5, p=0.02), aggressive behavior (OR=3.7 p=0.001) while female were more likely to have social problems (OR=2.6 p=0.002).Conclusions: Emotional and behavioural are a serious mental health concern among adolescents. An intervention strategy (School-based mental health service) maybe required to understand their problems and provide appropriate counseling.Keywords: Adolescents; emotional and behavioral problems; youth self report.

Ankstyvas ir tinkamas fenilketonurijos gydymas yra būtinas norint užtikrinti normalią psichinę ir fizinę šia liga sergančių vaikų raidą. Net tinkamai gydomi fenilketonurija sergantys vaikai turi elgesio problemų, tiesiogiai nekylančių dėl pačios ligos. Mūsų tyrimo tikslas buvo įvertinti fenilketonurija sergančių ir nuo jos gydomų vaikų elgesio problemas ir tai, kaip jos susijusios su psichologiniu ligos poveikiu šeimai bei tai, kaip tėvai reagavo į vaiko ligą, kokie yra jų santykiai su sergančiu vaiku. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad sergantys fenilketonurija vaikai turi daugiau emocijų ir elgesio problemų nei sveiki jų bendraamžiai. Patikimiausiai fenilketonurija sergančių vaikų internalios, socialinės ir dėmesio bei visos emocijų ir elgesio problemos siejosi su mamų reagavimu į vaiko ligą kaltės ir pykčio jausmais, į emocijas orientuotų streso įveikos strategijų naudojimu, nuolaidžiaujančiais santykiais su sergančiu vaiku. EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS OF CHILDREN WITH PHENYLKETONURIA  Roma Jusienė, Rasa Bieliauskaitė, Loreta Cimbalistienė SummaryPhenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited genetic metabolic disorder in which the enzyme required to digest phenylanine (Phe) is missing. If untreated, individuals with PKU will develop high levels of Phe in their blood which can affect brain development and function. That's why low protein diet must be introduced as early as possible from the birth. Nevertheless, several studies show higher incidence of behavioral problems, especially internalizing, in early treated PKU children. Parental maladjustment to their child's chronic illness and everyday stress related to the burden of special diet can be reasons for psychological problems of PKU children. The aim of our study is to evaluate the psychological adjustment of PKU children (as compared to healthy controls) and analyze it in the context of psychological impact of PKU on the family.Parents of 37 early-treated PKU children (age 4-14 years old) and of 37 matched controls answered the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL, Achenbach, 1991) and questionnaire on stress coping strategies (Elklit, 1996). Parents of PKU children also answered the questionnaire on reactions to child's disease and it's impact on the family.The results of present study indicate that PKU children have significantly more behavioral problems than healthy controls. They are more withdrawn, anxious /depressive, aggressive, have more social and attention problems. The higher rates of internalizing and overall problems are related to parental maladjustment (feelings of guilty and anger) together with maladaptive (emotional) everyday stress coping strategies. Two latter factors further indulging the child, that also predicts the psychological maladjustment of PKU children.

Strengths And Difficulties

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) has been extensively used to measure common forms of psychopathology among children and adolescents. However, its psychometric properties vary across countries and several controversial issues warrant further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate whether the Spanish version of the SDQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing emotional and behavioral problems in a sample of 6,775 students aged 5 to 17 years, as rated by parents, teachers, and youth. We examined the internal consistency of the questionnaire, its factor structure, and measurement invariance across child’s gender and age. Criterion validity was tested against the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Teacher’s Report Form (TRF), and Youth Self-Report (YSR), and we measured the ability of the SDQ to identify children with specific psychiatric disorders. Finally, we provide, for the first time, Spanish normative data for children aged 5 to 10 and 11 to 17 years, according to gender and each informant. Our results revealed acceptable reliability estimates for all SDQ subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original five-factor model and full measurement invariance was found. Furthermore, SDQ scores showed a moderate to strong correlation with those on the equivalent CBCL/TRF/YSR scales, and were effective in discriminating individuals with and without clinical diagnoses.

Abstract The prevalence rates of emotional and behavioral problems in adolescence suggest that their identification through different informants is relevant for the treatment and prevention of clinical conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association and agreement pattern regarding the indicators of internalizing and externalizing problems and total problems among adolescents, their families and teachers. Seventy adolescents, 70 family members and 21 teachers, who answered, respectively, the Youth Self Report and the Child Behavior Checklist in their version for parents and teachers participated in this study. There was greater concordance in the evaluation of adolescents and relatives than of teachers and adolescents and lack of agreement between family members and teachers. In addition, adolescents showed more indicators of internalizing problems. Thus, it is confirmed the need to contemplate multiple informants in the evaluation of emotional/behavioral difficulties of adolescents, with a view to its better understanding and detailing.
