“…Overall, the rates of comorbid conditions of particular behavioral problem pairs in the present study ranged from 0.9% to 4.0%, lower than those reported in the USA (10.5-30.2% in children aged [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. 14 This discrepancy can be explained by different definitions of comorbidity and the age range of the participants.…”

“…16 These findings highlight the importance of identifying comorbid behavioral patterns in childhood to offset future development of psychopathology and adverse social outcome. 16 Despite several epidemiological studies on Taiwanese child and adolescent populations, 13,[17][18][19] there has been no specific study to investigate the age and gender difference in the comorbid behavioral problems patterns, or to examine the effect of prenatal/ perinatal factors on behavioral problems in young children of an ethnic Chinese population. Hence, we conducted an epidemiological survey of childhood behavioral problems in Taiwan to investigate the effects of age, gender, prenatal/perinatal factors, and maternal psychological distress on childhood emotional/behavioral problems, and the gender difference in the patterns of comorbid emotional/ behavioral problems.…”

Aim: To investigate the effects of age, gender, prenatal/perinatal factors, and maternal psychological distress on childhood emotional/behavioral problems, and the gender difference in the patterns of comorbid emotional/behavioral problems. Methods:The sample included 1391 children aged 4-9 in Taipei using a multi-stage sampling method. Their mothers completed questionnaires including demographics, prenatal/perinatal variables, the Child Behavior Checklist, and the Chinese Health Questionnaire. The linear and non-linear mixed model was used for data analysis.Results: Boys scored higher on externalizing problems, and girls scored higher on internalizing problems. Gender also modified the comorbid patterns of emotional/behavioral problems. Aggressive behaviors decreased, but attention and thought problems increased with age. Prenatal/perinatal exposure to alcohol and coffee, vaginal bleeding, and gestational diabetes, low birthweight, and postnatal incubation and resuscitation, and maternal psychological distress predicted the risk for several childhood emotional/behavioral problems. Conclusion:Prenatal/perinatal and maternal care, and gender-specific measures are important for prevention of childhood emotional/behavioral problems.Key words: childhood emotional/behavioral problems, comorbid patterns, maternal psychological distress, prenatal/perinatal factors. C HILDHOOD BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS are common and related to impairments in selfcompetence and family function.1 Early behavioral problems are predictive of poor adjustment and psychopathology in late adolescence.2 Therefore, it is essential to identify correlates and risk factors of childhood behavioral problems for the delivery of mental health services.Literature has documented more externalizing problems in boys, and more internalizing problems in girls; 3,4 and increased somatic complaints and withdrawal with age for boys, but decreased for girls.

“…As stated earlier, these two subscales of both parent and teacher reports were used to classify children into four discrete groups. A prior psychometric study has demonstrated that the Chinese version of both the CPRS-R: S and CTRS-R: S are reliable and valid and that they clearly distinguish clinical children with ADHD from those without, with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity [33]. Similar factor structures as those of the English version have been obtained for the Chinese CPRS-R: S and CTRS-R: S [33].…”

This study examined social problems at school and relationships with peers, siblings, mothers, and fathers among children with ADHD only (n = 41), ODD only (n = 14), ADHD + ODD (n = 47), and normal controls (n = 204) from a school-based sample of 2,463 first to ninth graders in Taiwan. ADHD and ODD symptoms were determined by teacher and mother reports on the Conners' Rating Scales and social adjustment problems were assessed by mother reports on the Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents. Results indicated that relative to normal controls, children with ADHD + ODD displayed greater levels of social adjustment problems across domains (i.e., school, peers, siblings, and parents) while children with ADHD were significantly more impaired only in social adjustment at schools and children with ODD were more impaired only in social adjustment at home. Some similarities and differences in our findings, in relation to the Western literature, were discussed.

Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Conners’ Parent and Teacher Rating Scales-Revised: Short Form

Abstract: Our findings suggest that the CPRS-R:S-C and CTRS-R:S-C are reliable and valid instruments for measuring inattention and hyperactivity in both clinical and community settings in the Chinese population in Taipei.
