In this study, validity aspects of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) self-report and parent-report versions were assessed among Dutch adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (community sample: n = 962, clinical sample: n = 4,053). The findings mostly support the continued use of both SDQ versions in screening for psychosocial problems as (a) exploratory structural equation analyses partially supported the grouping of items into five scales; (b) investigation of associations between scales of the SDQ and the Child Behavior Checklist, Youth Self-Report, and Intelligence Development Scales-2 provided evidence for the SDQ versions’ convergent and divergent validity; and (c) receiver operating characteristics curves yielded evidence for both SDQ versions’ criterion validity by showing that these questionnaires can be used to screen for psychosocial problems, except for the adolescent-reported version for males. Regardless of the adolescent’s gender, the receiver operating characteristics curves showed both SDQ versions to be useful for screening for three specific types of problems: anxiety/mood disorder, conduct/oppositional deviant disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Additionally, parent-rated SDQ scores were found to be useful for screening for autism spectrum disorder.

This study aims at examining the agreement level between clinical diagnoses by a senior psychologist in the hospital and diagnoses/screening on Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire conducted by parents. Using ICD 10 (Indonesian version) as the gold standard, a clinical child psychologist diagnosed 253 male and female elementary school children aged 7-14 years old. Parents of the same children were requested to fill-out the SDQ questionnaire (SDQ-PR).  Psychometric property of SDQ-PR was analyzed using Alpha Cronbach and Principal Axis Factoring Analysis. Screening quality of SDQ-PR was examined using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), Likelihood Ratio (LR+ and LR-), and Chi-square. Reliabilities of SDQ-PR in all subscales were (α = 0.562 to α = 0.684) except subscale of peer-problem (α = 0.174). Different from the original version of SDQ-PR that consists of 5 subscales, this study revealed 8 subscales. LR and ROC analyses for hyperkinetic revealed LR+ = 1.84 and LR– = 0.51, sensitivity = 67.6% and specificity = 63.3% with cut-off score ≥ 6. For behavior disorder, the LR+ = 2.3, LR- = 0.42, sensitivity = 70.96%, and specificity = 69.15% with cut-off score ≥ 4. As for behavior disorder the LR+ = 1.07, LR- = 0.94, sensitivity = 50%, specificity 53.27% with cut-off score ≥ 4. Chi-square score indicated a significant correlation between SDQ-PR and the diagnoses from child psychologist for hyperkinetic and behavior disorder, but not for an emotional problem.

Objective. The perception of emotion and behavior is different between adolescents and their parents. Parent-adolescent agreement on emotional and behavioral problems has not been well researched. The aim of this study was to explore and compare how well the information from themselves matches with the judgments by their parents in terms of emotional and behavioral problems. Methods. The cross-sectional study was conducted using the self-report and parent-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). A total of 1254 Japanese school adolescents aged 12 to 18 and their parents were assessed almost the same time. The results were analyzed using the paired t-test and 2-way analysis of variance for the discrepancies of parent-adolescent agreements in each age and gender groups. Results. Adolescents obtained higher total difficulty and all subscales scores of SDQ than their parents. The effect of grade on the self/parent discrepancy scores were significantly observed on the conduct problems ( P < .001), hyperactivity ( P = .009), and prosocial behavior ( P < .001). The effect of gender was shown significantly on the emotional problems ( P < .001), conduct problems ( P < .001), and peer problems ( P = .002). Conclusion. Adolescents reported more problems than their parents did. For comprehensive evaluation of adolescents’ mental health, it is necessary to draw information from both the adolescents themselves and their parents, and pay attention to the gap between adolescents and their parents’ perception.

Emotional dysregulation is of great cause for concern because it is associated with severe outcomes. Currently, the identification of youths with signs of emotional and behavioral dysregulation is obtained through the assessment of a Dysregulation Profile (DP), including the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-DP (SDQ-DP). Despite its increasingly frequent use in research, studies exploring the SDQ-DP properties are still limited, and no study with Italian samples is currently available. The current study aimed to explore the psychometric properties of the SDQ-DP parent-report and its association with difficulties in the school context in a sample of 332 Italian early adolescents. Results showed that the SDQ-DP parent-report is a single-factor measure with good internal consistency. Also, in both males and females, the SDQ-DP parent-report was associated with higher teacher-reported Internalizing (e.g., anxious symptoms) and Externalizing Problems (e.g., hyperactivity, conduct problems) and lower Prosocial Behavior. This study added further evidence about the utility of the SDQ-DP in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of emotional dysregulation.

Zusammenfassung. ADHS ist durch die Kernsymptome Unaufmerksamkeit, motorische Unruhe und Impulsivität gekennzeichnet. Die Diagnostik der ADHS ist aufwändig und kann nur klinisch erfolgen. Anhand der Verlaufsdaten aus zwei Erhebungszeitpunkten der KiGGS-Studie wird hier untersucht, (a) wie häufig Eltern eine für ihre zum Ersterhebungszeitpunkt (t0, 2003–2006) drei bis 11 Jahre alten Kinder berichtete ADHS-Lebenszeitprävalenz zum zweiten Erhebungszeitpunkt (t1, 2009–2012) erneut berichten und (b) wie häufig eine jemals durch einen Arzt oder Psychologen gestellte ADHS-Diagnose in einem Zeitraum von sechs Jahren erstmalig berichtet wird (Diagnose-Inzidenz). Dazu wurden ausgewählte kind- und umfeldbezogene Einflussfaktoren wie Geschlecht, Transition in eine andere Lebensphase, Rauchen und Alkoholkonsum der Mutter während der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit, Familienstruktur und Sozialstatus sowie die psychopathologische Symptombelastung gemäß Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) zu beiden Messzeitpunkten longitudinal untersucht. Im Ergebnis berichteten 57.4% der Eltern, die zum Ersterhebungszeitpunkt eine jemals gestellte ADHS-Diagnose berichtet hatten, diese nach sechs Jahren erneut. Multivariat betrug das Odds Ratio für einen stabilen Elternbericht der ADHS-Lebenszeitprävalenz für Jungen OR = 5.04, für Rauchen der Mutter in der Schwangerschaft OR = 2.84 für Peerprobleme OR = 1.30 und für Hyperaktivitätsprobleme OR = 1.21 zu t0. Die Diagnose-Inzidenz lag insgesamt bei 3.6%. Die Inzidenz war für Jungen dreimal so hoch wie für Mädchen und nahm mit steigendem Alter ab. Alle Prädiktoren mit Ausnahme des Alkoholkonsums der Mutter in der Schwangerschaft waren bivariat mit der Diagnose-Inzidenz signifikant assoziiert. Multivariat erwiesen sich jedoch nur männliches Geschlecht (OR = 2.89), die Transition in die Adoleszenz (OR = 0.38) sowie Verhaltens- (OR = 1.15) und Peerprobleme (OR = 1.46) zu t0 als signifikante Prädiktoren.
