Résumé

Le Child Behavior Checklist, développé en 1978 par Achenbach, est actuellement un des instruments les plus utilisés dans la recherche en psychiatrie de l’enfant. Il est destiné à fournir une description standardisée des troubles émotionnels et/ou comportementaux, ainsi que des compétences sociales, tels que les parents les observent chez les enfants âgés de 4 à 16 ans. Cet outil et les informations qui en résultent sont décrits. Les données sur la fiabilité et la validité de cet instrument, ainsi que ses utilisations principales, sont ensuite passées en revue. Les formes complémentaires du Child Behavior Checklist sont mentionnées, ainsi que différents matériels disponibles Pour les utilisateurs potentiels. Une version française, la Liste de Comportements pour les Enfants, a été developpée et utilisée avec succès dans une étude épidémiologique. Cet instrument devrait donc intéresser les cliniciens et les chercheurs travaillant avec des enfants.

Summary

Summary

The Child Behavior Checklist is an instrument designed by Achenbach to provide a standardized description of behavior problems and competencies in children aged 4 through 16 as reported by their parents. The item presentation, the scoring principles, the mode of administration, the time needed for completion and the time period assessed are presented. For six different sex/age groups, a Child Behavior Profile may be derived which provides the clinician or the researcher with a comprehensive picture of the behavior problems. The Child Behavior Checklist has been extensively tested for its reliability and validity. The companion instruments and the related materials are also mentioned for the potential users. We then mention our pilot study of the French version. We have used it as a screening instrument in an epidemiological study of child psychiatric disorders in the community. The Child Behavior Profile for 6 to 11 year-old French children will be available in the near future. This instrument should met the needs of pediatricians, psychologists and psychiatrists involved with children, both for clinical and research purposes.
