Concurrent validity of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) with a sample of elementary- and middle-school students referred for multidisciplinary evaluations in a public school setting is presented. All correlations between the K-BIT and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Third Edition (WISC-III) were significant. Correlations ranged from .36 ( r2 = .10) to .87 ( r2 = .75), Mr = .71 ( Mr2 = .50). K-BIT Vocabulary-Matrices discrepancy scores accounted for a significant but small proportion (13%) of the variability in WISC-III VIQ-PIQ discrepancies, but kappa ( k) coefficients for these discrepancies indicated that agreement was generally no better than chance. The K-BIT appears to be a promising general intellectual screening instrument when more comprehensive assessment is not possible or needed, but interpretation is best left at the IQ Composite level for the present time.

Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test

Validity of a four-subtest short form (SF4) of the third edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) was evaluated in a sample of 42 young offenders 13 to 17 years of age. A test-retest methodology was used in a design that also yielded K-BIT reliability data for a subset of 24 participants. Results showed that SF4 outperformed the K-BIT on all validity indexes. Although stability coefficients for the K-BIT ranged from .79 to .92, concurrent validity for K-BIT scales with corresponding WISC-III summary IQs was low to modest. It was hypothesized that limited content overlap and the singular format of Matrices contribute to differences between K-BIT Matrices Standard Scores and WISC-III Performance IQs.

The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of time elementary and middle-school students spend away from the classroom and clinic time required to administer vaccines in school-located vaccination (SLV) clinics. We conducted a time study and estimated average time away from class and time to administer vaccine by health department (HD), student grade level, vaccine type, and vaccination process for SLV clinics during the 2012–2013 school year. Average time away from classroom was 10 min (sample: 688 students, 15 schools, three participating HD districts). Overall, time to administer intranasally administered influenza vaccine was nearly half the time to administer injected vaccine (52.5 vs. 101.7 s) (sample: 330 students, two HDs). SLV administration requires minimal time outside of class for elementary and middle-school students. SLV clinics may be an efficient way to administer catch-up vaccines to children who missed routine vaccinations during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic.
