到目前为止，还没有比较父亲和母亲的优势和困难问卷（SDQ），一个标准化的衡量儿童行为广泛使用在英国的临床实践和研究报告。本研究的目的是调查父母之间的差异和协议的各种SDQ域的儿童行为。通过英国13个全科诊所招募了4-6岁奥尔兹的父母，并完成了SDQ和抑郁，养育，夫妻关系，酒精使用和人口统计学的测量。比较父母SDQ评分。SDQ由248个父母对完成。母亲和父亲的评级是相关的，但父亲比母亲外化行为的平均得分更高。较高的报告父亲与酗酒，夫妻关系，父亲，父亲的就业。除了多动症，父亲没有报告比母亲更多的异常行为。父母间对正常/边缘行为的一致性较高（94.8-98.3%一致性），但对异常行为的一致性较低（7.7-37.9%）。有较高的父母之间的协议，而不是男孩的女孩，但父亲报告多动症的男孩比女孩的四倍。在临床环境中使用合并的父母报告将提高识别需要临床关注的儿童的问题行为的敏感性。
To date there has been no comparison of father and mother report on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), a standardised measure of child behaviour used widely in the UK in clinical practice and research. The objectives of the study were to investigate differences and agreement between parents on the various SDQ domains of child behaviour. Parents of 4-6 years olds were recruited via 13 UK general practices, and completed the SDQ and measures on depression, parenting, couple relationship, alcohol use and demographics. Parental SDQ ratings were compared. The SDQ was completed by 248 parent dyads. Mother and father ratings were correlated, however fathers reported higher mean scores than mothers for externalising behaviours. Higher reporting by fathers was related to alcohol misuse, the couple relationship, fathering, and father employment. Fathers did not report significantly more abnormal behaviours than mothers except for hyperactivity. There was high interparental agreement on normal/borderline behaviours (94.8-98.3% agreement), but lower agreement on abnormal behaviours (7.7-37.9%). There was higher interparental agreement on male rather than female children, but fathers were four times more likely to report hyperactivity among their boys compared with girls. Using combined parental reports in clinical settings would enhance the sensitivity of identifying children requiring clinical attention for their problem behaviours.
