Abstract

There are substantial sex differences in the mental health care of children in the primary care system.

The predictive value of the pediatric symptom checklist in 5-year-old Austrian children

“…Likewise, the cut-off sensitivity and specificity for this study was primarily low and therefore the cut-off was optimized to 15.5 using ROC analysis. These results correspond well to the orders of magnitude found in the small number of studies available for this age group [4,9,15]. For this age group Gardner et al [4] calculated PSC sensitivity, also using ROC analysis, and obtained, for a cut-off at 15, a sensitivity of 82.1 and specificity of 81, which corresponds approximately to our results.…”

“…These results correspond well to the orders of magnitude found in the small number of studies available for this age group [4,9,15]. For this age group Gardner et al [4] calculated PSC sensitivity, also using ROC analysis, and obtained, for a cut-off at 15, a sensitivity of 82.1 and specificity of 81, which corresponds approximately to our results. Jutte et al [10] likewise found-however for older children-a low sensitivity at a cut-off of 24 (7.4%) and were able to obtain a specificity of 94 and a sensitivity of 74 after ROC analysis and cut-off optimization to 12.…”

The Korean Version of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist: Psychometric Properties in Korean School-aged Children

“…The correlation between the Korean version of the PSC and the CBCL scores was significant ( r ≥0.70). These high correlation values suggest that the Korean version of the PSC reveals four latent psychosocial problem dimensions including internalizing, externalizing, attention, and school problems, similar to that proposed by Gardner ( 18 ). In ROC curve analysis, AUC values were greater than 0.9.…”
