“…The Childhood Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was initially developed according to empirical considerations [34], but has later been developed in accordance with DSM-IV categories [35]. However, the relationship between the items in this checklist and clinically assigned diagnoses remains unclear [36]. In contrast, more elaborate clinical, interview-based, diagnostic schedules, such as the Kiddie-SADS (Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia) [37], and the DISCO [30] may provide precise clinical diagnoses, but are less useful in non-clinical research.…”

The Autism - Tics, AD/HD and other Comorbidities inventory (A-TAC): further validation of a telephone interview for epidemiological research

BackgroundReliable, valid, and easy-to-administer instruments to identify possible caseness and to provide proxies for clinical diagnoses are needed in epidemiological research on child and adolescent mental health.The aim of this study is to provide further validity data for a parent telephone interview focused on Autism - Tics, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), and other Comorbidities (A-TAC), for which reliability and preliminary validation data have been previously reported.MethodsParents of 91 children clinically diagnosed at a specialized Child Neuropsychiatric Clinic, 366 control children and 319 children for whom clinical diagnoses had been previously assigned were interviewed by the A-TAC over the phone. Interviewers were blind to clinical information. Different scores from the A-TAC were compared to the diagnostic outcome.ResultsAreas under ROC curves for interview scores as predictors of clinical diagnoses were around 0.95 for most disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), tic disorders, developmental coordination disorders (DCD) and learning disorders, indicating excellent screening properties. Screening cut-off scores with sensitivities above 0.90 (0.95 for ASD and AD/HD) were established for most conditions, as well as cut-off scores to identify proxies to clinical diagnoses with specificities above 0.90 (0.95 for ASD and AD/HD).ConclusionsThe previously reported validity of the A-TAC was supported by this larger replication study using broader scales from the A-TAC-items and a larger number of diagnostic categories. Short versions of algorithms worked as well as larger. Different cut-off levels for screening versus identifying proxies for clinical diagnoses are warranted. Data on the validity for mood problems and oppositional defiant/conduct problems are still lacking. Although the A-TAC is principally intended for epidemiological research and general investigations, the instrument may be useful as a tool to collect information in clinical practice as well.

“…In fact, a number of studies document that children with ADHD or conduct disorder could not be differentiated from children with anxiety disorder on worry scales (Perrin & Last 1997), other measures of anxiety (Perrin & Last 1992) and attention measures (Werry et al. 1987; McGuire et al. 2000).…”

Children who are unable to identify and communicate that they worry about general day-to-day events may exhibit more observable behaviours resembling active and passive avoidance (e.g. arguing, avoiding difficult tasks, staring off) or have specific phobias and compulsions. These findings suggest that there are behavioural equivalents for anxiety disorder in children with FXS and, more generally, support the notion of behavioural equivalents in ID.

“…McGuire et al (19) could demonstrate that the CBCL cross-informant syndromes "Aggressive Behaviour" and "Delinquent Behaviour" significantly separate disruptive behaviour disorders from all other clinical disorders but that this was not equally true for the prediction of emotional disorders using the cross-informant syndrome "Anxious/Depressed".…”

This study examined the discriminant validity of the German version of CBCL in two large samples of referred and non-referred children and adolescents which were matched for age, sex and socio-economic status. The combined sample that was used for statistical analysis consists of 2,058 referred and 2,058 non-referred boys and girls between 4 and 18 years of age (mean age: referred boys= 10.9 years, non-referred boys = 10.9 years, referred girls=11.3 years, non-referred girls=11.1 years). Referral status was used as validity criterion. Statistical procedures included Odds Ratios, Total Predictive Values, ROC analyses and discriminant analyses. Results indicated that the discriminant validity of the German version of CBCL is comparable to the original English version. With the use of CBCL Total Problem Score as predictor (cut-off T > or = 60) 83.8% of children and adolescents could correctly be classified (sensitivity 83.6%, specificity 83.9%). Symptoms of the "Attention Problems Scale" show the highest discriminative power to distinguish between disturbed and undisturbed children and adolescents.
