Psychometric Properties of the Parent and Teacher Versions of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for 4- to 12-Year-Olds: A Review (2010, methodology): “Having multiple informants reporting on the SDQ is valuable because psychosocial problems may be highly situational (Achenbach et al. 1987; Goodman et al. 2000c).”
Exploring a Mindfulness Meditation Program on the Mental Health of Upper Primary Children: A Pilot Study (2010, methodology): “The most common disorder reported in the Australian survey was attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at 11%, with depression and conduct disorder both at three per cent (Sawyer et al, 2001).”
Investigating the Validity of the Australian Early Development Index (2007, methodology): “Originally developed as a screening tool, the SDQ is also increasingly being used as an individual outcome measure in clinical and preventive interventions (Goodman, 1999; Goodman et al., 2000; Hawes & Dadds, 2004).”
