How is it used?
Descriptions are given for 36 behaviours, with parents asked to assess their child on a seven-point scale (one being never to seven being always) for the intensity score, and indicate if the behaviour is a problem or not (yes or no) for the problem score. The test can be used for individual, group and phone administration, and takes 5–10 minutes.
