This study was designed to evaluate the psychometric attributes and screening efficiency of a Spanish version of the Children Predictive Scales (DPS) against the Spanish Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC-IV).
This pilot cross-sectional study included 61 children aged 9 to 14 years in a mainstream school. The following psychometric attributes were analyzed: acceptability, scale assumptions, internal consistency, and precision, as well the predictive validity (AUC).
The scale did not show ceiling or floor effects (6.4%, 1.3%, respectively). The internal consistency was high (α=0.92), and the standard error of measurement was adequate (SEM=1.54). The overall DPS AUC was 0.72 against DISC IV corresponding diagnosis.
The Spanish version of the DPS-4.32 seems to be a reliable and precise tool for screening mental health disorders in a school-age population.
本研究旨在评估西班牙语版儿童预测量表（DPS）相对于西班牙语版儿童诊断访谈量表（DISC-IV）的心理测量属性和筛查效率。
这项试点横断面研究纳入了一所主流学校的61名9至14岁儿童。分析了以下心理测量属性：可接受性、量表假设、内部一致性和精确性，以及预测效度（AUC）。
该量表未显示出天花板效应或地板效应（分别为6.4%、1.3%）。内部一致性较高（α=0.92），测量标准误适当（SEM=1.54）。与DISC-IV相应诊断相比，DPS的总体AUC为0.72。
西班牙语版DPS-4.32似乎是一种用于筛查学龄人群心理健康障碍的可靠且精确的工具。
