ABSTRACT
Cicchetti, Lynch, and Manly used the ecological-transactional model of child development to inform a three-part investigation of the links among child maltreatment, environmental conditions, and developmental outcomes. In the first part of the research, the investigators examined the links between community violence, domestic violence, and poverty and the multiple dimensions of child maltreatment assessed by the investigators’ classification system. In the second part of the research, the investigators examined the links between child maltreatment and various developmental outcomes. Finally, in accordance with the ecological- transactional perspective, the investigators examined how child maltreatment interacts with other environmental conditions and child factors to shape the path of children’s development and their subsequent adaptation.
Three hundred children between 7 and 12 years of age were recruited to participate in this study. One hundred sixty-eight children (56% of the sample) had been identified as legally maltreated by the local department of social services and had their caregivers referred to study investigators by social service caseworkers. A demographically similar comparison group of 132 non-maltreated children was recruited from the roll of families receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
Both groups of children participated in week-long, 30 hour day camp sessions during the summers of 1995 and 1996. Measures of the children’s interpersonal functioning, self-functioning, cognitive functioning, and symptoms of distress were assessed through self-, peer-, and counselor ratings. Concurrently, primary caregivers were interviewed about community and home violence. One-year longitudinal data were obtained for 95% of the child participants. Follow-up measures were identical to those used during the first wave except that parent-report ratings were not obtained.
This dataset represents year one and two of a four year data collection effort. Dataset #110 contains the third and fourth year follow-up data.

STUDY OVERVIEW
Study Identification
An Ecological Developmental Perspective on the Consequences of Child Maltreament (1995-1996)
Principal Investigator(s): Dante Cicchetti, Ph.D. University of Rochester, Rochester, NY
Jody Todd Manly, Ph.D. University of Rochester, Rochester, NY
Michael Lynch, Ph.D. University of Rochester, Rochester, NY
Funding Agency: Children’s Bureau, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Grant number 90-CA-1546)
Award Number: 90-CA-1546
Purpose of the Study
The investigation examined the links among child maltreatment, various environmental conditions, and developmental outcomes. The ecological developmental model was the guiding theoretical framework behind the design, measurement, and data analytic strategies utilized in this proposal. Risk factors associated with the occurrence of maltreatment are present at each level of the environment, and they influence events and processes in neighboring levels. As these ecological transactions take place, the path of individual and family development proceeds in a probabilistic fashion. Accordingly, in this study factors associated with maltreatment at several levels of children's ecologies were assessed and their effect on children's developmental adaptation and symptomatology examined.
The study focused on exploring risk factors in the exosystem, including the occurrence of poverty, unemployment, and violence in the community, as well as risk factors in the microsystem, such as domestic violence in the family, and their relationships to child maltreatment. Additionally, the researchers investigated how these dimensions of maltreatment and violence in the home and the community affect children’s subsequent developmental outcomes. The researchers sought to understand the circumstances in which maltreatment occurs and the different possible pathways toward either negative outcomes or resilient functioning. This more complete understanding of the environment of maltreating families will allow improved decisions regarding intervention for affected children and families.

NDACAN Dataset #96 Developmental Perspective
The investigators sought to develop a comprehensive understanding of child abuse and neglect by assessing contextual factors in a short-term longitudinal investigation. The specific objectives were as follows:
1. To investigate the relationships between child maltreatment and aspects of the environmental context, such as spousal abuse, neighborhood safety, and poverty.
2. To examine the impact of dimensions of child maltreatment on subsequent development.
3. To demonstrate the interactions among ecological conditions and dimensions of maltreatment in affecting subsequent development.
4. To identify maltreated children with resilient functioning and assess variables associated with positive outcome
5. To assess the enduring effects of maltreatment on children's functioning over time.
Study Design
The study had three parts. In part one of the study, the investigators examined the links between community violence, domestic violence, and poverty and the multiple dimensions of child maltreatment assessed by their classification system. In part two, the investigators focused on the relationships between child maltreatment and various developmental outcomes in children. Finally, in accordance with the developmental ecological-transactional perspective, the investigators examined how child maltreatment interacts with other environmental conditions, such as poverty, community violence, and domestic violence, to shape the path of children's development and their subsequent adaptation.
During years 1 and 2 of the project, the initial wave of cross-sectional data was collected from a number of sources including children, parents, camp counselors, children’s peers in camp, and centralized DDS records. Additionally, in year 2, the investigators began to collect a second wave of one-year follow-up data on the children first seen during year 1. During the third year of the project, the one-year follow-up was completed on the children first seen during year 2.
Data regarding children’s adaptation and current symptomatology were first collected during a one-week long day camp session during the summer of 1995. In addition, home visits were conducted concurrently with children’s first camp attendance, during which time the primary caregiver of each child in the study was interviewed. Finally, information regarding children’s history of maltreatment was scored from DDS records according to the investigators’ classification system (Barnett, Manly, & Cicchetti, 1993).
Date(s) of Data Collection
The data were collected during the summers of 1995 and 1996.
Geographic Area

Sample
Three hundred children between 7 and 12 years of age in year one of the study participated in this research. One hundred sixty-eight children (56%) in the sample had been identified by the local department of social services (DSS) as legally maltreated. The other half of the sample constituted a demographically similar comparison group of nonmaltreated children recruited from the roll of families receiving welfare benefits. Both boys and girls were included in the sample. Overall, the sample was ethnically diverse and came from lower socioeconomic strata, as determined by an extensive interview detailing the demographic characteristics of each family.
Each participating maltreating family had been designated an official maltreatment case under the criteria of New York State law following a full investigation by social services caseworkers. Maltreatment history was specified through an in-depth check of DSS records. The sample included children who had experienced diverse forms of maltreatment, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional maltreatment.
Families of maltreated children were referred to the project by DSS caseworkers. Specifically, child protective services (CPS) caseworkers were asked to approach families in their caseloads and ask them if they would be interested in participating in the study. The caseworkers were instructed to stress the voluntary nature of the participation and to make it clear that a decision not to participate would in no way jeopardize any welfare services they were receiving. Families who agreed to participate were asked to sign a name release form, which was forwarded to project staff. The family was then contacted and the details of the study were explained.
Low-income nonmaltreating families were recruited from the County's welfare population through lists of recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). A screening interview with the parents in each family was conducted over the phone to obtain some preliminary demographic information. In addition, parents were asked to confirm that their children had never been maltreated. After obtaining their informed consent, investigators verified that none of these families had ever appeared on the New York State Central Registry of child abuse. The DSS registry was monitored at 6-month intervals throughout the course of the study to ensure that none of the low-income nonmaltreating families had been legally identified as maltreating. If any of these families were reported for maltreatment during the course of this investigation, their maltreatment status classification was changed.
Children from families receiving AFDC were selected as a comparison group after a careful review of a report produced by the state on the demographic characteristics of families on the CPS caseload. The investigators found that AFDC children constituted a good comparison group for maltreated children because their families shared so many of the same demographic features (for example, low parental education, low socioeconomic status, high rates of dependence on public assistance, and high proportions of single-parent families). Extensive demographic data addressing the above-listed characteristics were collected on all participating children and families to ensure that the maltreatment group and the low-income nonmaltreatment group were both representative of the service populations from which they were drawn and

comparable to each other in regards to major demographic characteristics.
Data Collection Procedures
Much of the data collection occurred in the context of a summer day camp. Once children were recruited into the sample, they were invited to attend free week-long sessions of camp during the summers of 1995 and 1996. Children were in camp for 30 hours during the week, which allowed many opportunities to observe and talk with them. The summer camp is both an ecologically valid context in which to assess children's level of interpersonal and self-functioning and a feasible and efficient means by which to collect data on large numbers of children. Children were placed into same-sex, same-age groups of eight, with half of the children in each group having documented histories of maltreatment and half being nonmaltreated. Three trained adult counselors were assigned to each group of eight children. Camp counselors completed a battery of behavior and personality ratings on the children with whom they worked at the end of each week of camp. While children were in camp, they engaged in a variety of recreational activities (see Cicchetti & Manly, 1990). Periodically throughout the week, they participated in research activities with trained research assistants. All research assistants were unaware of the children's maltreatment status and the research hypotheses. Ninety-five percent of the cases were retained from wave 1 to wave 2.
Parents gave their informed consent before camp began allowing their children to participate in the research. Subsequently, children were given the option to decide for themselves whether or not they wanted to participate. In return for their participation in the research activities, children were allowed to choose from a variety of small prizes.
In addition to the data collected at the summer camp, the primary caregiver of each child in the study was interviewed during a home visit. The caregiver visits were completed within one month of the child’s camp attendance in year one in order to ensure that child and parent perceptions and ratings were collected concurrently.
The measures administered and the time of data collection are presented in Table 1. Descriptions of the specific measures, as well as their psychometric properties, are provided below. Measures are grouped according to the ecological level they represent.

Measures
COMMUNITY VIOLENCE SURVEY (CV):
Richters, J. E., & Saltzman, W. (1990). Survey of children's exposure to community violence: Self report. Rockville, MD: National Institute of Mental Health.
As part of individual interviews conducted in camp, children were asked to complete the Community Violence Survey developed by Richters and Martinez (1993). This questionnaire asks children to rate the frequency with which they have experienced, witnessed, or heard about various acts of violence in their community. Examples of the kinds of violence children are asked to rate include: shootings, stabbings, sexual assault, muggings, drug deals, arrests by the police, murders, and suicides. Children

rate how frequently they have experienced each form of violence from never in their life to daily. This measure has been used effectively with samples of school-aged urban children residing in violent Washington, D.C. neighborhoods (Richters & Martinez, 1993). One-week test-retest reliability of the composite variable reflecting the sum of all reported exposure to violence is r = .81. There is one version of this measure for children younger than 9 years old and a different version for children 9 years old and above. There are 22 items with a possible response of never, once, or more than once in the version for participants less than 9 years old, and a 54-item version for older children and adults with possible responses of: never, 1 time, 2 times, 3 or 4 times, 5 or 6 times, 7 or 8 times, at least once a month, at least once a week, and almost everyday. Copies of these instruments are included in the Appendices section of this guide.
For participants 9 years or older the following derived summary variables were computed: a victimization count, (sum of 13 items); the number of times the participant witnessed violent acts (sum of 36 items); and the incidence of home violence (sum of 2 items).
In addition, as part of home visits with the children's primary caregiver, parents completed a self-report form of the Community Violence Scale (Richters & Martinez, 1993). This form contained the same 54 items as the questionnaire given to children 9 years or older. The same three summary variables derived for the children were computed for the caregivers.
DOMAINS OF FUNCTIONING (PML):
Greenberg, M. (1993). Domains of Functioning. Unpublished document, University of Washington: Seattle, WA.
Children eight years and older completed the Domains of Functioning (or People in My Life) questionnaire (Greenberg, 1993) as part of individual interviews conducted in camp. This questionnaire has two subscales in which children rate the level of safety versus danger present in their school (7 items) and in their neighborhood (7 items). Each subscale contains items that children score on a four- point scale (from almost never or never true to almost always or always true). A copy of the instrument is included in the Appendices section of this document.
NEIGHBORHOOD SATISFACTION SCALE (ON):
Greenberg, M. (1993). Domains of Functioning. Unpublished document, University of Washington: Seattle, WA.
As part of home visits with the primary caregiver, parents completed the Neighborhood Satisfaction (or Our Neighborhood) Scale based on Greenberg's (1993) Domains of Functioning "neighborhood" subscale, which is included in the Appendices section of this guide. Parents rate 7 items describing how safe their neighborhood is on a four-point scale with responses ranging from almost never or never true to almost always or always true.

DEMOGRAPHICS INTERVIEW:
Carlson, V., & Cicchetti, D. (1979). Demographics Interview. Unpublished document, Harvard University: Cambridge, MA.
This interview, conducted with primary caregivers, provides information regarding familial poverty and socioeconomic status. Developed by Carlson and Cicchetti (1979), this interview provides information concerning family income, parental education, parental occupation, presence of adult partners, and history of welfare receipt. Demographic variables included in the dataset provide data on: the child’s age, gender, and ethnicity, family income, parental education, number of adult living in the home, number of children living in the home, parental marital status, and history of receiving welfare. The researchers have found this measure to be an excellent means of developing representative comparison samples. A copy of the interview form is included in the Appendices section of this document.
CONFLICT TACTICS SCALE (CTS):
Straus, M.A. (1979). Family patterns of child abuse in a nationally representative sample. Child Abuse and Neglect, 3, 23-25.
As part of home visits with children's primary caregivers, parents completed the Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, 1979), a 19-item instrument describing a variety of tactics that adults use in conflict situations ranging from rational discussion to acts of violence. Seven possible responses are: never, once a year, twice a year, 3-5 times a year, less than once a month, once or twice a month, twice or more a month. The Severe Violence Index from the Conflict Tactics Scale includes such acts as hitting someone with an object, kicking or biting a person, burning a person, and using a gun or a knife on someone. This measure is a widely used questionnaire for assessing within-family violence between adults and is available from the author at http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2.
Three derived variables, composites of reasoning (mean of 3 items), verbal (mean of 6 items), and physical (mean of 8 items) conflict, are included in the distributed file.
MALTREATMENT CLASSIFICATION AND RATING SYSTEM (MCS):
Barnett, D., Manly, J.T., & Cicchetti, D. (1993). Defining child maltreatment: The interface between policy and research. In D. Cicchetti and S.L. Toth (Eds.), Child abuse, child development, and social policy, (pp. 7-73). Norwood, NJ: Ablex.
The children's maltreatment histories were delineated by examining official records at the Monroe County Department of Social Services. For children with documented histories of maltreatment, the Barnett, Manly, and Cicchetti (1993) nosology classification system for child maltreatment was employed by trained research assistants. This nosology allows further specification of children's maltreatment history by indicating: (a) the maltreatment subtype, (b) the severity of maltreatment, (c) the frequency/chronicity of maltreatment, and (d) the developmental period during which maltreatment occurred, (e) the number of court-ordered separations from the primary caregiver that children have

experienced, and (f) the perpetrator of the maltreatment. Information about court-ordered separations from the primary caregiver and perpetrators is not included in the dataset distributed by NDACAN. Please see the Appendices section of this guide for a more detailed description of the classification system.
Maximum severity scores for emotional maltreatment, physical neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse are included. The presence or absence of maltreatment (regardless of subtype) is coded for the following developmental periods: Infant (0 to < 18 months); Toddler (= 18 months to < 36 months); Preschooler (= 36 months to < 71 months); School Age (= 71 months to < 96 months); and Later School Age (= 96 months to < 156 months). In addition, chronicity is captured in the number of developmental periods in which maltreatment occurred.
PUPIL EVALUATION INVENTORY (PEI):
Pekarik, E., Prinz, R., Liebert, D., Weintraub, S., & Neale, J. (1976). The Pupil Evaluation Inventory: A sociometric technique for assessing children's school behavior. Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 4, 83-97.
The Pupil Evaluation Inventory was completed by camp counselors as a rating of children's social adaptation. This measure was developed as an index of behavior for first through ninth grade children (Pekarik, Prinz, Liebert, Weintraub, & Neale, 1976). The inventory contains 35 items, which were selected because of their relation to identifiable types of behavior and their association with psychopathology (Pekarik et al., 1976). The inventory is presented as an item-by-child matrix. Camp counselors are asked to put a check by the name of each child who fits a particular item description (e.g., Those who try to get other people in trouble). A copy of the instrument is included in the Appendices section of this document.
Pekarik et al. (1976) report that factor analysis produces three distinct factors, or subscales: Aggression (20 items), Withdrawal (9 items), and Likeability (5 items). The factors are internally consistent as indicated by split-half correlations above .70 across factors and different raters. Test-retest reliability over two weeks is also high, with all correlations greater than .80. Teacher and peer ratings correlate significantly, ranging from .47 to .83 for all three factors. The summary scores for each of the three factors and standardized scores for the three factors are provided in the data file NDACAN distributes.
PEER NOMINATIONS (PN):
Coie, J.D., & Dodge, K.A. (1983). Continuities and changes in children's social status: A five-year longitudinal study. Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 27, 1-18.
On the final day of camp, children evaluated characteristics of the peers in their camp group using a peer nomination method developed by Coie and Dodge (1983). Each child was asked to select one peer from the group who best fit the following descriptions: most liked, least liked, cooperative, leader, shy, disruptive, and fighter. The total number of nominations each child receives from peers for each category is calculated, and these totals are converted into proportions of possible nominations for each

descriptive category. A copy of the version of the measure used in this study is included in the Appendices section.
BEHAVIOR RATINGS (BR):
Wright, J. (1983). The structure and perception of behavioral consistency. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Stanford University.
On two separate occasions during the week of camp, counselors rated each child on nine items tapping three aspects of interpersonal functioning: prosocial behavior (mean of 3 items), aggression (mean of 3 items), and withdrawal (mean of 3 items). These behavior ratings, developed by Wright (1983), were completed during unstructured 45-minute play periods for the children on a 7-point scale ranging from not at all descriptive to highly descriptive. Previous work has shown that inter-rater reliability among groups of three raters is highly reliable (alphas ranging from .67 to .93). The internal consistencies of the three subscales from the behavior ratings also demonstrate high reliability (alphas of .90). Because agreement is high among raters, the behavior ratings were averaged across all three camp counselors to yield scores for the three dimensions of social behavior. A single measure of each of the three aspects per wave is included in the dataset. The complete instrument is provided in the Appendices section of this guide.
SELF-ESTEEM INVENTORY (SEI):
Coopersmith, S. (1981). The Self Esteem Inventories. Palo Alto, CA: Consulting Psychologists Press.
This measure was completed as part of individual interviews with children in camp. The measure allows children to report their perceptions of self by evaluating a set of 58 items on whether or not each item is characteristic of themselves (Coopersmith, 1981). A summary variable was computed for self- esteem in four domains: general (mean of 26 items), social (mean of 8 items), home (mean of 8 items), and academic (mean of 8 items). In addition to the four summary means a Lie score (mean of 8 items) and a total self-esteem score (mean of 50 items) are included in the data file. The total self worth scale from this measure can be used as an indicator of self-esteem and valuing of the self. Coopersmith (1981) has demonstrated adequate reliability and validity for this copyrighted scale. The inventory may be obtained from the publisher.
CALIFORNIA CHILD Q-SET (CA):
Block, J.H., & Block, J. (1969). The California Child Q Set. Institute of Human Development, University of California, Berkeley.
After extensive week-long observations of the children in the camp setting, camp counselors completed this measure to assess children's personality functioning (Block & Block, 1969). This Q-Set consists of 100 diverse items about children's personality, cognitive, and social characteristics. Raters sort the individual items into a fixed distribution of nine categories ranging from most to least descriptive of the

individual child. Individual profiles are thus generated for each child. Inter-rater agreement among groups of counselors ranges from .74 to .93. Two-dimensional scores were derived from the Q-sort data, ego-resilience and ego-control, and are included in Dataset #096. These two dimensions reflect the degree to which children are able to flexibly modify their level of control as a function of the demand characteristics of the environment (Block & Block, 1980). The measure is copyrighted and can be obtained from the publisher.
Each item was assigned a criterion score, and each child’s individual Q-set data were correlated with the criterion sorts. The resulting correlations for each child’s profile with the prototypical ego-resiliency and ego-control criterion sorts represent how similar or different the individual child was compared to the prototype profiles. A high positive correlation with ego-resiliency criterion sort indicates a high level of ego-resiliency. A high positive correlation with ego-control indicates high ego undercontrol.
PEABODY PICTURE VOCABULARY TEST, Revised (PPVT):
Dunn, L.M., & Dunn, L. (1981). The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised. Circle Pines, MN: American Guidance Service.
The children completed this copyrighted assessment while they were in camp. The PPVT-R is a widely used test of receptive (hearing) vocabulary for Standard English (4 training items and 204 test items). Each item consists of four black and white illustrations. The test taker selects the picture that best represents the meaning of a stimulus word presented orally. Although not a comprehensive measure of general intelligence, the PPVT-R measures an important aspect of general intelligence through assessing vocabulary ability, which has been shown to be highly related to general intelligence. The PPVT-R demonstrates adequate internal consistency (median split half reliability of .80), and an average correlation of .64 with WISC full scale IQ (Dunn & Dunn, 1981). Raw, standard, percentile and normalized standard scores are provided in the distributed data file.
LEVONN MEASURE (LEV):
Richters, J.E., Martinez, P., & Valla, J.P. (1990). Levonn: A cartoon-based structured interview for assessing young children's distress symptoms. National Institute of Mental Health.
In the context of individual interviews at camp, children younger than 9 years old completed the Levonn Measure (Richters, Martinez, & Valla, 1990), which is a cartoon-based measure in which children rate the frequency of various distress symptoms. This culturally sensitive cartoon-based interview: (1) depicts the central character, Levonn, as an urban child; (2) includes depictions of symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder; (3) includes a 2 or 3 sentence script with each cartoon; and (4) uses a response format for indicating frequency that consists of pictures of a thermometer filled with varying degrees of mercury for never, some of the time, and a lot of the time.
Subscales representing depression (10 items, Cronbach's alpha = .78), anxiety/intrusive thoughts (14 items, Cronbach's alpha = .84), and sleep problems (7 items, Cronbach's alpha = .71) emerge from this interview. Correlations among the scales range from .64 to .85, being sufficiently high to justify

combining them into a single index of children's distress symptoms. This summary variable is included in Dataset #096. A copy of the complete measure is included in the Appendices section of this guide.
The Levonn Measure has been used successfully with school-aged urban children (Martinez & Richters, 1993). It is administered to children less than 9 years old. One-week test-retest reliability for the composite distress rating computed by summing across all symptom scores is high and significant (r = .81, p < .001). The composite symptom score is significantly related to parent-rated Child Behavior Checklist scores (r = .30, p < .01), and to parent ratings of children's distress based on the Checklist of Child Distress Symptoms (r = .32, p < .01; Martinez & Richters, 1993). The total sum score for both camp sessions is included in the file.
CHECKLIST OF CHILD DISTRESS SYMPTOMS (PTSD):
Richters, J.E., & Martinez, P. (1990). Checklist of child distress symptoms. National Institute of Mental Health.
Children 9 years old and above completed the Checklist of Child Distress Symptoms (Richters & Martinez, 1990). This checklist was developed from diagnostic criteria described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., revised - American Psychiatric Association, 1987) for depression and anxiety. The checklist includes 28 symptom descriptions rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from never to most of the time. Children's ratings of their distress symptoms yield two correlated subscales (r = .64, p < .001) of moderately high reliability: depression (Cronbach's alpha = .71) and anxiety (Cronbach's alpha = .72). Children's composite scores of distress are significantly related to their scores on the Child Depression Inventory (r = .49, p < .01; Martinez & Richters, 1993). A total sum score is included in DS_096. A copy of the instrument is included in the Appendices section below.
Children's parents completed the parent-report form of the Checklist of Child Distress Symptoms (Richters & Martinez, 1990) as part of a home visit with the primary caregiver. As above, this is a 28- item checklist indicating the presence of symptoms. Also as above, parents' ratings of children's distress symptoms yield two correlated subscales (r = .80, p < .001) of moderately high reliability: depression (Cronbach's alpha = .75) and anxiety (Cronbach's alpha = .70). Parent-child agreement about the relative levels of children's symptoms is modest but significant (r = .32, p < .01; Martinez & Richters, 1993). The parents’ ratings are not included in the dataset distributed by NDACAN. Overall, children report significantly higher levels of depression and anxiety than their parents report about them.
CHILD DEPRESSION INVENTORY (CDI):
Kovacs, M. (1985). The children's depression inventory. Psychopharmacology Bulletin, 21, 995-998.
All children completed the Child Depression Inventory (Kovacs, 1985), a widely used measure of children's depressive symptoms. The Child Depression Inventory contains 27 items that assess the affective, cognitive, and behavioral concomitants of depression. The scale is copyrighted and can be obtained from the publisher. Children are asked to choose one of three alternatives for each item, 0, 1,

2, selecting the description that best characterizes their functioning over the prior 2 weeks. Scores on individual items are summed and range from 0 to 54, with higher scores indicating more severe depressed symptomatology. Typically scores greater than 12 on the CDI are thought to reflect mild depression, while scores of 19 or above have been equated with clinically significant levels of depression (Smucker, Craighead, Wilcoxan Craighead, & Green, 1986). The CDI has been demonstrated to possess high internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability, to discriminate between clinical and nonclinical groups of children, and to correlate with constructs associated with depression such as self-esteem, perceived competence, and attributional style (Kazdin, 1990). The summary score is provided in the NDACAN file.
CHILD BEHAVIOR CHECKLIST (CBCL):
Achenbach, T. (1991). Manual for the Teacher's Report Form and 1991 Profile. Burlington, VT: University of Vermont, Department of Psychiatry.
Counselors completed the Teacher Report Form of the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991) at the end of camp. This copyrighted checklist is a widely used rating of children's externalizing and internalizing symptoms. The teacher version of the Child Behavior Checklist contains a 118-item checklist that covers a broad range of problems relevant to children's mental health referrals that are identifiable by adults (e.g., can't sit still, restless or hyperactive and gets in many fights). Each of the behavior problem items is scored on a 3-point scale with 0 = not true, 1 = somewhat or sometimes true and 2 = very true or often true of the child. Counselors were instructed to base their ratings of the child on behaviors occurring during the course of children's attendance in camp. Three t-scores are provided, that for the total problem score, the internalizing score, and the externalizing score. The CBCL can be obtained from the publisher.
Reliability of the Teacher Report Form (TRF) has been established on an ethnically diverse standardization sample. The median test-retest correlation for all scales of the TRF is .90 over a one- week period. Over longer intervals, median test-retest reliabilities range from .84 for a 15-day period to .68 over a 4-month period. Inter-rater has been reported to range from .30 to .84 across to age levels (6 to 11 and 12 to 16 years old) and across boys and girls. The items of the TRF Child Behavior Checklist correlate positively (p < .005) with clinic-referred status.
