优势和困难问卷（SDQ）是在研究和临床决策中最广泛使用的年轻人心理健康困难的措施之一。虽然SDQ有纸本和计算机调查两种格式，但尚未建立跨格式的对等关系。目前的研究旨在评估该措施的等效性在纸上和计算机为基础的调查格式在社区为基础的学校设置。该研究检查了英格兰中学11-14岁奥尔兹的匹配样本完成的自我报告测量（589份完成的纸质版本; 589份在线版本）。分析表明，因素结构，虽然没有不同的调查格式，导致拟合模型不佳，限制了使用基于模型的不变性检验。结果表明，该措施并没有在不同的格式类似的操作，与尺度水平的平均差异观察到的多动症规模，这也影响了总的困难分数，在纸上版本中看到更高的分数。对影响补充材料的答复也受到调查格式的影响，在基于计算机的计量中披露的特定领域的影响更大。在测量中观察到四个项目的项目水平差异项目功能;两个来自亲社会量表，其中DIF大到足以影响量表（DTF，nu（2）= 0.14）。不同调查形式之间的不一致性突出表明，需要更多地评估不同调查形式对青年人的影响，他们认为的隐私和他们通过不同媒体披露的心理健康情况。研究结果还强调了当使用不同的数据收集方法时，格式的潜在混杂效应，对跨样本比较和儿童临床审查可能产生实质性影响。
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is one of the most widely used measures of young people's mental health difficulties in research and clinical decision-making. Although the SDQ is available in both paper and computer survey formats, cross-format equivalences have yet to be established. The current study aimed to assess the measure's equivalence across paper- and computer-based survey formats in a community-based school setting. The study examined self-reported measures completed by a matched sample of 11-14 year olds in secondary schools in England (589 completed paper version; 589 online version). Analyses demonstrate that the factor structure, although did not vary by survey format, resulted in poorly fitting models limiting the use of model based invariance testing. Results indicate that the measure does not operate similarly across different formats, with scale-level mean differences observed for the hyperactivity scale, which also affects the total difficulties score, with higher scores seen in the paper version. Responses to the impact supplement were also influenced by survey format, with higher impact in specific domains disclosed on the computer-based measure. Item-level differential item functioning was observed for four items in the measure; two from the prosocial scale where the DIF is large enough to affect the scale (DTF, nu(2) = 0.14). The inconsistency across survey formats highlights the need for more assessment of influences of different survey formats on young people, their perceived privacy and their mental health disclosures via different media. The findings also highlight the potential confounding effect of format when different methods of data collection are used, with a potentially substantive impact on cross-sample comparisons and within child clinical review.
