Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL/6-18 (original) (raw)
The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL/6-18) is a 113-item parent report measure designed to assess behavioural and emotional problems in children and young people aged 6-18 years. This most recent version of the original measure includes items and subscales aimed at assessing symptoms of anxiety, depression, somatic complaints (that is, physiological symptoms frequently associated with internalising behaviours like anxiety and depression), social problems, thought problems, attention problems, rule-breaking behaviour and aggressive behaviour. The CBCL is part of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). Psychometric features Internal consistency Test-retest reliability Validity Sensitivity to change ✓ (Scale) ✓ (Subscale) ✓ ✓ ✓ Implementation features Brevity Availability Ease of Scoring Used in the UK ✕ ✕ ✕ ✓ *Please note that our assessment of this measure is based solely on the English version of the CBCL/6-18. The other versions were not assessed and therefore, it should not be assumed that they would receive the same rating. What is this document? This assessment of the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL/6-18) has been produced by the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) as part of guidance on selecting measures relating to parental conflict and its impact on children. To read the full guidance report and download assessments of other measures, visit: https://www.eif.org.uk/resource/measuring-parental-conflict-and-its-impact-on-child-outcomes Some of the CBCL items contain sensitive content (for example item 18: 'deliberately harms self or attempts suicide'). If an individual raises issues around self-harm, suicide or related issues, they should either be referred to the relevant mental health services or the appropriate safeguarding procedures should be put in place.
