Describes issues related to application of the Child Behavior Checklist and its related instruments, the Teacher's Report Form and Youth Self-Report in research in clinical child psychology. Salient issues include the following: (a) limited sensitivity of the instruments to identify less serious behavioral problems or changes in level of behavioral problems that are below the threshold for disturbance; (b) limited and potentially misleading assessment of social competence; (c) possible bias in interpreting data concerning physical symptoms; (d) difficulties of interpreting data obtained from culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse samples; (e) problems created by using norms for the instruments in lieu of comparison groups; (f) difficulties raised by combining data across informants; and (g) subjectivity in scoring. Investigators should be aware of these issues when collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data in clinical child psychology research.
