The Amsterdam Child Behavior Checklist is a short behavior checklist meant to distinguish between attention problems and several other common behavioral and emotional problems of children in primary education. The list has four scales, Attention Behavior, Restlessness, Aggressive Behavior, and Fear/Uncertainty. We examined the relationships among the scores on the scales and similar scales of the Teacher Report Form, the teachers' version of the Child Behavior Checklist. Teachers from 94 schools rated 454 children on both lists. Analysis showed that the associations between the scores of the scales of the Amsterdam Child Behavior Checklist and of similar scales of the Teacher Report Form ranged from moderate to strong. These data support the validity of the scales of the Amsterdam Child Behavior Checklist.

Clinical Method

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical validities and efficiencies of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the ADHD Rating Scale-IV (ARS) in identifying children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Korean community-based samples. Method: A large sample of elementary school students ( n = 1668) participated in this study. We used the CBCL and the ARS as the screening instruments. Diagnoses were determined by clinical psychiatric interviews and confirmed by DSM-IV–based structured interviews. Results: Of the 46 subjects who underwent clinical psychiatric interviews, 33 were diagnosed as having ADHD. A T score of 60 with regard to the Attention Problems profile of the CBCL resulted in a reasonable level of sensitivity or positive predictive value in the diagnosis of ADHD. In both the parent and teacher reports of the ARS, 90th percentile cut-off points resulted in a high level of predictive value. The highest levels of specificity and positive predictive value were obtained when we combined the CBCL ( T ≥ 60 in Attention Problems) and the ARS (parent–teacher total ≥ 90th percentile) reports. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the combined use of the CBCL and the ARS could serve as a rapid and useful clinical method of predicting or even diagnosing children with ADHD in epidemiologic case definitions.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate parents' and teachers' sensitivity to the unhappiness and depression of 110 elementary-aged undercontrolled children being treated in an inpatient program. Sensitivity was operationally defined as congruence between the child's responses on two self-report measures (Children's Depression Inventory and Hopelessness Scale for Children) and the adults' behavioral ratings of the children on behavior checklists (Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher Report Form). The first hypothesis that children's self-reports of depressive symptoms would not be significantly correlated with parents' and teachers' ratings of depressive symptomatology was supported. Secondly, it was hypothesized that there would be no differences in the level of self-reported depressive symptoms when children who were rated as depressed by their parents and teachers were compared with children rated as not depressed by their parents and teachers. This was also supported. Finally, it was hypothesized that children who reported significant levels of depressive symptomatology would be rated by their parents and teachers as having more behavior problems than children who did not report significant levels of depressed symptomatology. This was partially supported. The implications of these results in relation to identification and treatment are discussed.

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar as diferenças nos problemas de internalização (ansiedade, depressão, queixas somáticas), avaliados por diferentes informadores (pais, professores e jovens), em função do nível de realização acadêmica, em alunos do ensino básico e secundário. Para tal, recorreu-se a uma amostra estratificada representativa da população portuguesa constituída por 1.510 alunos, com idades compreendidas entre os 11 e 18 anos. Do conjunto de provas da bateria Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment validados para a população portuguesa, foram utilizadas a Child Behavior Checklist 6-18, a Youth Self-Report 11-18 e a Teacher Report Form 6-18. De uma forma geral, os resultados evidenciam que os alunos com realização acadêmica baixa apresentam mais problemas de internalização do que alunos com realização acadêmica média e/ou elevada. No entanto, no 3º ciclo do ensino básico, na perspectiva dos próprios jovens, os alunos com realização acadêmica elevada apresentam maiores níveis de ansiedade/depressão, comparativamente aos alunos com realização acadêmica baixa. Estes resultados indicam-nos que, para além de os alunos com realização acadêmica baixa se encontrarem numa situação de risco e vulnerabilidade para problemas de internalização, é necessário ter também especial atenção aos alunos com realização acadêmica elevada. Destes resultados decorrem implicações práticas relevantes para os contextos escolares, nomeadamente ao nível da consideração da relação entre a realização acadêmica e o bem-estar psicológico.

Objective: We compared Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)-AAA (Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior, and Anxious/Depressed) and Parent–Young Mania Rating Scale (P-YMRS) profiles in Brazilian children with ADHD, pediatric-onset bipolar disorder (PBD), and PBD + ADHD. Method: Following analyses of variance or Kruskal–Wallis tests with multiple-comparison Least Significant Difference (LSD) or Dunn’s Tests, thresholds were determined by Mann–Whitney U Tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots. Results: Relative to ADHD, PBD and PBD + ADHD groups scored higher on the Anxious/Depressed, Thought Problems, Rule-Breaking, and Aggressive Behavior subscales and Conduct/Delinquency Diagnostic Scale of the CBCL; all three had similar attention problems. The PBD and PBD + ADHD groups scored higher than the ADHD and healthy control (HC) groups on all CBCL problem scales. The AAA-profile ROC had good diagnostic prediction of PBD + ADHD. PBD and PBD-ADHD were associated with (similarly) elevated P-YMRS scores. Conclusion: The CBCL-PBD and P-YMRS can be used to screen for manic behavior and assist in differential diagnosis.
