NATIONAL SURVEY OF CHILDREN & YOUTH: A 6-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

这项研究继续进行纵向研究，旨在加强 评估、分类、流行病学和预测的经验基础 儿童、青少年和年轻人的精神病理学。 它将 在10至22岁之间重新评估一个独特的国家样本， 1986年，通过家庭访谈和标准化评级对4至 16岁和1989年，年龄7至19岁。 现有的评估数据包括 多维度（父母、教师、自我）行为/情绪报告 问题和能力，家庭组成，家庭精神障碍， 社会经济地位，儿童保育，安排，福利支持， 1986年至1989年间发生的重大事件 1989年的评估也 包括以下干扰的迹象：（a）问题分数在 临床范围;（B）转介精神健康服务;（c）转介 特殊教育;（d）学校行为问题、停学、开除;（e） 与警察、逮捕、审判发生纠纷;（f）自杀未遂;（g） 父母的判断，孩子需要专业帮助;和一个复合 项目（a）至（g）的索引。 1989年随访获得90.7%的数据（N = 100）。 2，479）的主题最初在1986年评估。 通过重新评估1986年和1989年评估的2，479个主题， 6-一年的随访旨在：（1）检验假设， 标准化的措施，家长，教师，和自我报告的问题， 能力将预测上面列出的干扰迹象，加上 物质滥用：（2）家庭变量和干预能力的测试 压力预测的迹象，干扰和问题的分数;（3） 比较和模拟预测的干扰的迹象，从最佳的 家庭变量、受试者变量和干预变量的组合 事件;（4）检验差异发生率和累积患病率 假设解释较高的发病率精神病理学低于 上层社会经济群体;（5）推进诊断的分类学基础 儿童/青少年疾病的稳定性，预测能力， 鉴别力，以及8个经验性综合征的相关性 3年和6年期间的结构;（6）比较8个 综合征结构预测结果;（7）跟踪发展 精神病理学跨越了从青春期到 成年

This study continues longitudinal research designed to strengthen the empirical basis for assessment, taxonomy, epidemiology, and prediction of psychopathology in children, adolescents, and young adults. It will reassess at ages 10 to 22 a unique national sample that was previously assessed via home interviews and standardized ratings in 1986 at ages 4 to 16 and 1989 at ages 7 to 19. The existing assessment data include multisource (parent, teacher, self) reports of behavioral/emotional problems and competencies, family composition, family mental disorders, socioeconomic status, child care, arrangements, welfare support, and stressful events occurring between 1986 and 1989. The 1989 assessment also included the following signs of disturbance: (a) problem scores in the clinical range; (b) referral for mental health services; (c) referral for special education; (d) school behavior problems, suspension, expulsion; (e) trouble with police, arrest, adjudication; (f) suicide attempts; (g) parent's judgment that the child needed professional help; and a composite index of items (a)-(g). The 1989 follow-up obtained data for 90.7% (N = 2,479) of the subjects originally assessed in 1986. By reassessing the 2,479 subjects assessed in 1986 and 1989, the proposed 6-year follow-up is designed to: (1) test the hypothesis that practical, standardized measures of parent-, teacher-, and self-reported problems and competencies will predict the signs of disturbance listed above, plus substance abuse; (2) test the ability of family variables and intervening stresses to predict the signs of disturbance and problem scores; (3) compare and model predictions of the signs of disturbance from optimal combinations of family variables, subject variables, and intervening events; (4) test the differential incidence and cumulative prevalence hypotheses for explaining higher rates of psychopathology among lower than upper socioeconomic groups; (5) advance the taxonomic basis for diagnosis of child/adolescent disorders by testing the stability, predictive power, discriminative power, and correlates of 8 empirically based syndrome constructs over 3- and 6-year periods; (6) compare the ability of the 8 syndrome constructs to predict outcomes; (7) track the development of psychopathology across the crucial transitional period from adolescence to adulthood.
