We have revised the Child Behavior Checklist/2-3 (CBCL/2-3) and Caregiver-Teacher Report Form (C-TRF) to span ages 1½-5. Two items in the CBCL/2-3 that were unscored or rare were replaced on the CBCL/1½-5/LDS with items that sharpen assessment of important syndromes:

51. Overweight was replaced by 51. Shows panic for no good reason and
79. Stores up things was replaced by 79. Rapid shifts between sadness and excitement.

Using a new national normative sample and larger clinical samples, we derived the following cross-informant syndromes from both forms: Emotionally Reactive, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Withdrawn, Attention Problems, & Aggressive Behavior. We also derived a Sleep Problems syndrome from the Child Behavior Checklist/1½-5 (CBCL/1½-5/LDS).

In addition, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scales are scored from both forms. Our new Assessment Data Manager (ADM) Ages 1½-5 Module systematically compares up to eight preschool forms. The similar layouts of the CBCL/1½-5/LDS and C-TRF profiles help you compare multiple hand-scored profiles.

Another new feature is a profile of DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual)-oriented scales, which comprise CBCL/1½-5/LDS and C-TRF items that experienced psychiatrists and psychologists from ten cultures rated as being very consistent with DSM diagnostic categories. The DSM-oriented scales are: Affective Problems, Anxiety Problems, Pervasive Developmental Problems, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems, & Oppositional Defiant Problems. The CBCL/1½-5/LDS now includes the Language Development Survey (LDS) for identifying language delays.

The CBCL/1½-5/LDS obtains parents’ ratings of 99 problem items plus descriptions of problems, disabilities, what concerns parents most about their child, and the best things about the child. Scales are based on ratings of 1,728 children and are normed on a new national sample of 700 children. The LDS obtains parents’ reports of children’s expressive vocabularies and word combinations, plus risk factors for language delays. For ages 18-35 months, the LDS is scored to indicate whether vocabulary and word combinations are delayed. For language-delayed older children, the LDS provides comparisons with norms up to 35 months. Hand-scored and computer-scored profiles are available. The ADM Ages 1½-5 Module compares up to eight CBCL/1½-5/LDS and C-TRF forms per child. Spanish-language CBCL/1½-5/LDS forms are also available.
