“…The ECBI has been well validated in both clinic-referred and non-referred samples and has demonstrated good reliability and validity. 15,[35][36][37][38][39][40] The original ECBI was not validated in African American samples; however, the newer version published in 1999 does not differ substantially from the older version used in this study and is reported to have an internal consistency of .97 for the African American subgroup in the standardization sample. 41 …”

Predictors of caregiver-reported behavior problems for 3-year-olds with prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) and matched controls were examined using structural equation modeling. We tested whether PCE had a direct effect on child behavior problems in a model that included other prenatal drug exposure, child sex, caregiver depression, and the quality of the child's home environment. The sample (N = 256) was drawn from a longitudinal, prospective study of children of (predominantly crack) cocaine-using women and controls matched on race, socioeconomic status, parity, and pregnancy risk. Child Behavior Problems was modeled as a latent variable composed of the 48-item Conners' Parent Report Scale Conduct Problem and ImpulsiveHyperactive scales and the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory Intensity scale. Caregiver depression was the only significant predictor of Child Behavior Problems. Mean levels of caregiver selfreported depression and reported child behavior problems did not differ between groups. Mean depression scores were well above the recommended clinical cutoff while mean child behavior problems scores were within normal limits. The model explained 21% of the variance in caregiver-reported child behavior problems in our sample of rural African American, low SES youngsters. Non-maternal caregivers of cocaine-exposed children had significantly lower mean depression scores and mean child behavior problems ratings for 2 of 3 scales used in the study compared to biological mothers of children with PCE and controls. For all groups, much larger proportions of children were rated as having clinically significant behavior problems than would be expected based on the prevalence of behavior problems in the general population.Since the coining of the term "crack baby" in the 1980s, dire predictions have been made about the developmental outcomes of children with prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE). These premature forecasts were based, in part, on research conducted using animal models in which considerable deleterious effects of PCE on offspring were found as well as in case reports and clinical studies of polydrug users. Early controlled studies of neonates and young infants with PCE did indicate difficulties with state and behavioral regulation including problems with alertness, orientation, irritability, and arousal-modulated attention which raised the concern that these children could be at risk for externalizing behavior problems in the future. 1 While well-designed prospective studies in humans during the past decade have yielded more equivocal results, most studies have been consistent with the conclusion that PCE exerts clinically subtle but statistically significant effects that could result in considerable costs to society.

“…The ECBI is a 36-item parent rating scale that assesses disruptive behavior and conduct problems in children, as well as adolescents from ages 2 to 17 years old (Boggs et al 1990;Burns and Patterson 1991;Burns and Patterson 2000). This ECBI's ratings load onto two scales: Intensity Scale and Problem Scale (Boggs et al 1990).…”

“…This ECBI's ratings load onto two scales: Intensity Scale and Problem Scale (Boggs et al 1990). For the Intensity Scale, parents rate how frequently the behaviors occur on a 7-point scale: 1 (never) to 7 (always), and the ratings are summed for their total (Boggs et al 1990;Burns and Patterson 2000). For the Problem Scale, parents answer Byes^or Bno^to whether the behavior is a current problem, and the Byes^responses are summed to calculate the total (Boggs et al 1990).…”

Examination of Parental Tolerance Among Parents of Young Children with and without ASD

Parental tolerance reflects the degree that parents tend to be bothered by childhood behavior. Parental tolerance of childhood disruptive behaviors is an important factor in shaping discipline practices employed by parents in reaction to childhood disruptive behavior. Numerous factors are hypothesized to influence parental tolerance, such as child gender and the presence of developmental delays or other psychiatric conditions. However, little research has explored the variations in parental tolerance across families of children with and without developmental delays. The current study sought to replicate previous findings on gender differences within parental tolerance in a neurotypical sample, as well as assess differences in parental tolerance in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). MANOVA results revealed that parental tolerance of childhood misbehaviors significantly differed based on ASD status. Results demonstrated that parents of children with ASD were more tolerant overall of childhood disruptive behaviors compared to children without ASD. The findings from the study reveal important factors that could potentially affect parental tolerance.

Physicians' Attention to Parents' Concerns About the Psychosocial Functioning of Their Children

Parental disclosure of concerns was a better predictor of physician identification of child psychosocial problems than was the presence of child behavior problems. Physicians responded more frequently to the disclosures of potential problems by parents of children with clinically significant psychosocial problems. They also attended more frequently to disclosures about behavior problems when the parent was also experiencing psychosocial distress.
