The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a short questionnaire suitable for screening childhood behavior problems. Completing the questionnaire requires 5 minutes of parents' or teachers' time. The scales of the original version showed good agreement with relevant scales of the much longer Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). In this study, we report the use of the Hungarian version of the SDQ and results of a comparison between the scales of the SDQ and the CBCL.
Questionnaire data were collected from the parents of 156 six-year-old children from a community sample. Of the 156 children, 89 were participants of the longitudinal Budapest Infant-Parent Study (BIPS).
Internal consistency of the Hungarian SDQ scales were moderate-satisfactory (0.43-0.70), correlations between the relevant SDQ and CBCL scales were as expected (0.41-0.65), showing that the short questionnaire was equally suitable for the detection of problems. In our six-year-old age group, the mean of the total problem scores (11.0) was much higher than the means measured in other Western European countries and North-America. However, in developing countries, such as Brazil or China, levels were higher and closer to the Hungarian mean score.
These initial Hungarian data confirm international experience with the SDQ, i.e., psychometric indices and the distribution of scale scores across the sexes are consistent with the results of foreign studies. On the other hand, a cautious generalization of our results indicates a higher level of problems in Hungary than in Western Europe and other developed countries. We think that following further collection of normative data the Hungarian version of the SDQ, which will take only a few minutes to complete, will be suitable for assessing the mental health of children and adolescents, and for the quick screening of problematic cases.
优势与困难问卷（SDQ）是一份简短问卷，适用于筛查儿童行为问题。完成该问卷需要家长或教师5分钟时间。原始版本的量表与长得多的儿童行为清单（CBCL）的相关量表显示出良好的一致性。在本研究中，我们报告了匈牙利语版SDQ的使用情况以及SDQ量表与CBCL量表的比较结果。
从社区样本中156名6岁儿童的家长处收集问卷数据。在这156名儿童中，89名是布达佩斯婴儿-父母纵向研究（BIPS）的参与者。
匈牙利语版SDQ量表的内部一致性为中等满意（0.43 - 0.70），相关的SDQ量表与CBCL量表之间的相关性符合预期（0.41 - 0.65），表明这份简短问卷同样适用于问题检测。在我们的6岁年龄组中，总问题得分的平均值（11.0）远高于其他西欧国家和北美的测量平均值。然而，在巴西或中国等发展中国家，得分水平更高，且更接近匈牙利的平均得分。
这些最初的匈牙利数据证实了SDQ的国际经验，即心理测量指标和量表得分在性别间的分布与国外研究结果一致。另一方面，对我们结果的谨慎归纳表明，匈牙利的问题水平高于西欧和其他发达国家。我们认为，在进一步收集规范数据后，只需几分钟就能完成的匈牙利语版SDQ将适用于评估儿童和青少年的心理健康，并用于快速筛查问题病例。
