The purpose of this article is to provide easily accessible readability information for 49 parent- and 35 child- and adolescent-report measures commonly used by clinicians and researchers. There is a great deal of variability in reading ability required across measures. The majority of parent-report measures (65%) required reading ability above the 8th grade level. The average child-/adolescent-report measure required reading ability above the 6th grade level. Given the potential contribution of readability to a measure's reliability, validity, and overall utility, examining and accounting for readability should be a more common practice in test construction and administration.
本文旨在为临床医生和研究人员常用的49项家长报告量表以及35项儿童和青少年报告量表提供便于获取的可读性信息。各项量表所需的阅读能力存在很大差异。大多数家长报告量表（65%）要求阅读能力在八年级以上水平。儿童/青少年报告量表的平均要求阅读能力在六年级以上水平。鉴于可读性对量表的信度、效度和整体效用可能产生的影响，在测验编制和实施过程中，检查和考虑可读性应该成为更普遍的做法。
