父母和青少年范德比尔特功能指数（VFI-P和VFI-Y）是儿童和青少年的功能问题指数。这些是专门的评估工具，与临床医生评估功能所使用的冗长程序不同。VFI的低成本允许在大量儿童的结果评估中有足够的样本量。他们从两个重要来源收集有关儿童行为的信息，父母和青少年。它们的管理成本低廉，不需要临床医生或训练有素的评估人员，并且比基于访谈的功能测量以及流行的病理和能力检查表测量方法更能产生预测有效性，特别是在测量严重损伤时。每个VFI都是由以下人员开发的：（a）选择表面有效的功能问题;（B）消除所有不增加显着的预测效度的问题;（c）评估的可靠性和有效性的指数;和（d）比较VFI的有效性与其他流行的儿童功能评估。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The Parent and Youth Vanderbilt Functioning Indexes (VFI-P and VFI-Y) are functioning problem indexes for children and adolescents. These are specialized assessment tools distinct from the lengthy procedures used by clinicians to assess functioning. The VFIs' low cost permits adequate sample sizes in outcome evaluations of large numbers of children. They collect information on child behavior from two important sources, parents and youths. They are inexpensive to administer, require no clinicians or trained raters and produce predictive validities better than interview-based measures of functioning and popular checklist measures of pathology and competence, especially for measuring serious impairment. Each VFI was developed by; (a) selecting face-valid functioning problems; (b) eliminating all problems not adding significant predictive validity; (c) evaluating the reliability and validity of the index; and (d) comparing the VFI's validity with other popular assessments of child functioning.
