Resumen

Introduction: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was developed by Professor Robert Goodman at the Institute of Psychiatry (UK) in the 1990’s. It is a brief behavioural screening instrument internationally used for the screening of mental health problems in children and adolescents. It consists in a 25 item questionnaire with 5 different scales: emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity / inattention peer relationship problems and prosocial behaviours. Its simple administration and interpretation has made it a very useful tool in paediatrics. The SDQ has been translated and validated in more than 70 languages, these includes a Spanish version. It is widely used as an adequate tool for epidemiological, early detection and clinical studies, as demonstrated by its psychometric properties. Material and methods: Parents and teachers ratings of SDQ were collected for a community-based sample of 597 children between 7 and 10 years, in which both genders were equally represented. Statistical evaluation of cutt-offs were performed. Bandings identifying normal, borderline, and clinical ranges were defined for each scale. Results: The present study reveal cut off results sensibly different to those obtained in other languages. Conclusions: The Spanish translation seems to be a similarly useful tool as the original English and other languages questionnaire.
