“…The lack of a gender effect for informant agreement was in contrast to data from community clinical samples (15) and work by Jensen et al (16). Our findings suggest that in the clinical setting patterns of agreement between parents and adolescents may be similar regardless of the child's gender.…”

“…Findings have ranged from no effect of child gender on adult ratings (10) to work by Verhulst and van der Ende (15), who found that child gender and age influenced discrepancies between child and parent ratings in a community clinical sample. In one of the earlier studies that used father ratings, Jensen et al (16) found that interparent reliability varied as a function of child gender. Fathers' and mothers' ratings were significantly different for sons, with mothers reporting more behavior problems.…”

“…In one study (Breslau et al, 1988), mothers who were depressed rated their children as showing a greater number of symptoms of all psychiatric syndromes. Like mothers, fathers' reports of their children's behavioral problems are influenced by their own level of psychological symptoms (Phares et al, 1989;Jensen et al, 1988). The consequence of the facts that (a) parents tend to have similar levels of psychopathology, and (b) levels of parental psychopathology effect ratings of problem behavior in their children, is that the rater bias components of mothers and fathers become correlated.…”

“…14,34,35 Furthermore, the parents' own psychologic state may influence their reports. 38,39 Future research needs to investigate further the reasons for parent-child discrepancies, and qualitative research techniques may prove useful for this purpose. The domains in which proxy raters for the child's functioning can be used should be made clear, as should cases in which both child and parent reports need to be obtained and integrated.…”

Young traffic victims' long-term health-related quality of life Sturms, LM; van der Sluis, Corry K.; Groothoff, J.W.; ten Duis, HJ; Eisma, WH Take-down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim.Downloaded from the University of Groningen/UMCG research database (Pure): http://www.rug.nl/research/portal. For technical reasons the number of authors shown on this cover page is limited to 10 maximum. Objectives: To describe the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) reported by young traffic injury victims and to assess the child-parent agreement on the child's HRQOL.Design: Cohort study with a mean follow-up of 2.4 years. Setting: Traumatology department in a university hospital in The Netherlands.Participants: All traffic injury victims treated at the traumatology department in 1996 -1997 and aged 8 to 15 years at follow-up (Nϭ254). The data of 157 child-parent pairs were available for analysis (mean follow-up age, 12Ϯ2.4y; 57% boys; 24% hospitalized).Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure: TNO-AZL Children's Quality of Life parent and child questionnaires.Results: Young traffic injury victims reported a significantly lower HRQOL in the motor and autonomy scales compared with contemporaries in the reference group. The child-parent agreement ranged from low to moderate (intraclass correlations, .35-.67). A comparison made between the children and their parents found that the children were more negative regarding the physical complaints and the motor, autonomy, and positive-emotion scales.Conclusions: Young traffic injury victims reported a reasonably good long-term HRQOL, and, surprisingly, few psychologic problems were revealed. Physicians who rely only on parental reports may overestimate the child's HRQOL, especially when assessing the physical functioning. The child's own reports should not be neglected in the assessment of a comprehensive picture of the child's HRQOL.
