CBCL/1.5-5 - Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5

The CBCL/1.5-5 obtains caregivers' ratings of 99 problem items.

Items are scored on the following syndrome scales: Emotionally Reactive, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Withdrawn, Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior, and Sleep Problems. Items are also scored on the following DSM-oriented scales: Affective Problems, Anxiety Problems, Pervasive Developmental Problems, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems, Stress Problems, Autism Spectrum Problems, and Oppositional Defiant Problems.

The measure also includes open-ended questions to obtain additional qualitative information. Problem-related questions allow the respondent to write in additional problems that were not listed in the 99 items and to further describe problems, physical and mental disabilities, and primary concerns about the child. The strengths-based question allows the respondent to describe the best things about the child.

The CBCL is to be completed by the parent/caretaker who spends the most time with the child.
