“…Internal reliability for the SDQ subscales varied from good to very low reliability: emotional symptoms (α = .70), conduct problems (α = .53), hyperactivity/inattention (α = .47), peer relationship problems (α = .26), and prosocial behavior (α = .61). The range of internal reliability estimates is broadly consistent with previous work on the scale (e.g., Colins et al, 2013), and the particularly low internal reliability for the conduct problems and peer relationship problems is consistent with youth samples in Japan (Moriwaki and Kamio, 2014), China (Mellor et al, 2011), and multicultural samples in the Netherlands (Colins et al, 2013; Mieloo et al, 2014). Past work suggests that differences in cultural reports of youth behavior may influence caretaker reports, particular in cross-cultural or minority group samples (Mieloo et al, 2014), thereby influencing reliability estimates.…”

Little is known about risk factors for adolescent mental health in Vietnam. The present study investigated the relationship between caretaker mental health and adolescent mental health in a cross-sectional Vietnamese sample. Primary caretakers completed measures of their own mental distress and general health status using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) as well as reports of adolescent mental health using the parent version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Multivariate regression models were used to examine the relationships between the caretaker and adolescent health variables. The demographic factors of age, sex, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and household wealth status demonstrated significant relationships with SDQ subscale scores. Caretaker mental health was positively associated with adolescent mental health, and this association remained significant even after accounting for other relevant demographic variables and caretaker general health status. Understanding correlates of adolescent mental health difficulties may help identify youth and families at risk for developing psychiatric problems and inform mental health interventions in Vietnam.
