Psychiatric Epidemiology in a Sample of 1510 Ten-Year-Old Children--I. Prevalence.

Vikan, Arne

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, v26 n1 p55-75 Jan 1985

Prevalence estimates of psychiatric disorders in 10-year-old rural Norwegian children were based on responses to symptom checklists distributed to parents and teachers. Parents' index showed highest validity and was used as a basis for prevalence estimates. Properties of the index were shown to be sample specific. (Author/AS)
