在美国全国儿童和青少年人群样本中评估优势和困难问卷，制定规范性评分带，并测试高分组与服务接触或因心理健康原因使用的相关性。方法：在2001年全国健康访谈调查中，对10,367名4至17岁儿童的父母进行了美国版的优势和困难问卷父母报告。评分带的开发，以区分低，中，高水平的情绪或行为困难。通过三种不同的评分方法来识别出现严重困难的高风险儿童：（1）高症状评分，（2）父母对明确或严重困难的感知，以及（3）高症状加障碍。这些评级是针对服务接触或使用和其他完善的人口统计学和儿童情绪和行为问题的更广泛的风险因素进行验证的。结果：结果具有良好的可接受性和内部一致性。标准评分带与英国原始评分带相似，但不完全相同。每种评分方法的结果与服务接触/使用有很强的关联。结论：这项研究支持的优点和困难问卷作为一个有效和高效的筛选在美国儿童和青少年心理健康问题的有用性。
To evaluate the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire in a U.S. national population sample of children and adolescents, develop normative scoring bands, and test the association of high-scoring groups with service contacts or use for mental health reasons. Method: An Americanized version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire parent report was administered to parents of 10,367 4-to 17-year-olds in the 2001 National Health Interview Survey. Scoring bands were developed to differentiate low, medium, and high levels of emotional or behavioral difficulties. Children at high risk of serious difficulties were identified by three different scoring methods: (1) high symptom scores, (2) parental perception of definite or severe difficulties, and (3) high symptoms plus impairment. These ratings were validated against service contact or use and other well-established demographic and broader risk factors for child emotional and behavioral problems. Results: Results indicated good acceptability and internal consistency. Normative scoring bands were similar, though not identical, to the original British bands. Results of each scoring method had a strong association with service contact/use. Conclusions: This study supports the usefulness of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire as an effective and efficient screener for child and adolescent mental health problems in the United States.
