Introduction

We doesn’t have any screening tool in our language or even validated.

Objectives

To evaluate advantages of the using of SDQ to screening for disorders and symptomatic manifestations in a clinical work and community sample.

Aims

To compare the data from the filled questionnaires between the parents and children's, between the child cases referred in CHAMHU and children's during the systematic controls visits, to be seen correlations amongst the scores of scales and symptoms items and diagnoses.

Methods

Referred cases to the clinic have been offered to fill out SDQ questionnaire with the supplement impact. From 358 new cases only 43% of the cases have been involved. Based on the medical systematic visits in the schools (2008) was extracted a randomized sample for comparing. All data has been analyzed by SPSS 17.0.

Results

184 questionnaires have been filled out. SDQ have showed one internal consistence with the coefficient Cronbach’s Alpha from 0.721. Within cases were filled out both from parents and children's, SDQ have proved the reporting differences between parents and children's, but without any significant correlations with diagnoses and symptoms items with the diagnoses. SDQ showed the useful differences regarding the reports amongst the referred clinical cases and school cases without any significant correlation.

Conclusions

SDQ can be one of the screening tools, useful in the clinical setting and also in the community, despite the limitation which can have. Intellectual level of the parents within the country as ours can be possible obstacles.
