To examine the psychometric properties of the Dominic Interactive (DI) in school-aged children in a different cultural environment than Quebec.
In a large French region, 100 schools and 25 children (aged 6 to 11 years) per school were randomly selected. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires to children (DI), parents (sociodemographic characteristics, mental health services use), and teachers (child school achievement). DI psychometric properties were assessed by examining: the distribution of each DI diagnosis; comorbidity between diagnoses; alpha coefficients measuring internal consistency; and correlates of psychopathologies with sociodemographic status and health care services use. Estimates of DI properties were compared with those from a sample of community children in Quebec.
Complete data were available for 1274 children (54.4%). The internal consistency of each DI diagnosis of the French version was reasonable, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.62 to 0.89. The psychometric properties and comorbidity were consistent with the version from Quebec.
The satisfactory psychometric properties of the DI along with other demonstrated advantages of this instrument (children enjoy the activity, parents approve of it, and it is cost-effective) and its cultural adaptability support the consideration of the DI for epidemiologic studies in diverse cultures.
在与魁北克不同文化环境下的学龄儿童中,检验多米尼克互动评估(DI)的心理测量学特性。
在一个大型的法国地区,随机选择了 100 所学校和每所学校 25 名儿童(年龄在 6 至 11 岁之间)。通过儿童(DI)、家长(社会人口特征、精神卫生服务使用情况)和教师(儿童学业成就)自我管理的问卷收集数据。通过检查以下内容来评估 DI 的心理测量学特性:每个 DI 诊断的分布;诊断之间的共病情况;测量内部一致性的 alpha 系数;以及精神病理学与社会人口统计学状况和卫生保健服务使用之间的相关性。DI 属性的估计值与魁北克社区儿童的样本进行了比较。
1274 名儿童(54.4%)的完整数据可用。法语版的每个 DI 诊断的内部一致性是合理的,克朗巴赫的 alpha 系数范围从 0.62 到 0.89。心理测量学特性和共病情况与魁北克的版本一致。
DI 的令人满意的心理测量学特性,以及该工具的其他优势(儿童喜欢该活动、家长认可它,而且它具有成本效益)及其文化适应性,支持在不同文化中考虑使用 DI 进行流行病学研究。
