A consecutive series of 95 3 to 4 year old and 43 7 to 11 year old children attending surgical, and medical outpatient clinics was studied, using questionnaires that measured behavioural deviance and had adequate reliability and validity for screening populations of children. A control group was also studied in the 7 to 11 year old sample. Depressive symptoms in the mothers of the children were determined using the Wakefield depression inventory. There was considerable behavioural deviance in children attending the outpatient clinics; 44% of the 7 to 11 year olds who were surgical outpatients had deviant scores. Thirty two per cent of mothers of medical outpatients had deviant scores on the depression inventory. These findings have relevance for the approach paediatricians take to their outpatients.
对95名3至4岁以及43名7至11岁在外科和内科门诊就诊的儿童进行了一项连续研究，采用了测量行为偏差且对儿童群体筛查具有足够信效度的问卷。在7至11岁的样本中还研究了一个对照组。使用韦克菲尔德抑郁量表确定儿童母亲的抑郁症状。在门诊就诊的儿童中存在相当多的行为偏差；7至11岁的外科门诊患儿中有44%得分异常。内科门诊患儿的母亲中有32%在抑郁量表上得分异常。这些发现与儿科医生对待门诊患者的方式相关。
