The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is one of the most widely used measures in child and adolescent mental health in clinical practice, community-based screening and research. Assessing the readability of such questionnaires is important as young people may not comprehend items above their reading ability when self-reporting. Analyses of readability in the present study indicate that the self-report SDQ might not be suitable for young people with a reading age below 13-14 years and highlight differences in readability between subscales. The findings suggest a need for caution in using the SDQ as a self-report measure for children below the age of 13, and highlight considerations of readability in measure development, selection and interpretation.
None.
《长处与困难问卷》(SDQ)是临床实践、社区筛查及研究中儿童和青少年心理健康领域应用最广泛的测评工具之一。评估此类问卷的可读性很重要,因为青少年在自我报告时可能无法理解超出其阅读能力的题目。本研究中的可读性分析表明,自我报告版的SDQ可能不适用于阅读年龄低于13 - 14岁的青少年,并凸显了各分量表在可读性上的差异。研究结果表明,在将SDQ用作13岁以下儿童的自我报告测评工具时需谨慎,并强调了在测评工具开发、选择及解读过程中对可读性的考量。
无。
