Child behavior checklist

Another set of tools that could be utilized are brief rating scales. DSM-IV mandates that ADHD symptoms must be present in at least two settings. For children and adolescents, school is invariably one of the two settings. To get a sense of the comparative problems in school versus those at home, psychiatrists often use rating scales that can be completed by both parents and one or more teachers. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale, Conners Parent Rating Scale, and the Child Behavior Checklist are the most commonly nsed scales to evalnate the symptoms of ADHD.

The behavioral effects of prenatal cocaine exposure at age 5 years have been studied in 140 children exposed to cocaine, 61 exposed to alcohol, tobacco, and/or marijuana, and 120 not exposed to any drugs (290). They were evaluated with the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. There was no association between behavior and intrauterine cocaine exposure. However, the current behavioral health of the mother, including recent drug use and psychological functioning, did affect the child s internalizing and externalizing behavior. 

In the second study the same group evaluated the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on child behavior in 506 African-American mother-child pairs (363). The mothers were identified as cocaine users and non-users during the initial prenatal visits with urine screen confirmation. Offspring behavior was assessed 6-7 years later using caregiver reports with the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Analyses stratified by sex and prenatal alcohol exposure showed that behaviors in girls without prenatal alcohol exposure but with prenatal cocaine exposure were adverse 6.5% of the unique variance in behavior was related to prenatal cocaine...
