The Parent/Caregiver Involvement Scale – Short Form (P/CIS-SF) is a reliable measure of parenting in high-risk parent-infant dyads. The P/CIS-SF shows no floor effect with high-risk dyads, with the exception of teaching and learning environment.
The CBCL is a 120 item parent-report, which provides a measure of behavioral and emotional functioning and social competence of youth, aged six to 18 (Achenbach, 1991). The CBCL has been updated to include DSM-oriented scales, and to complement the new preschool version for children aged 18 months to 5 years.
Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) How it works: A parent or teacher is given a broad range of questions about a child's behavior. That includes questions about his social skills, ways of thinking and ability to adapt.
The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a widely used caregiver report form identifying problem behavior in children. It is widely used in both research and clinical practice with youths. It has been translated into more than 90 languages, and normative data are available integrating information from multiple societies.
Behavioral checklists usually include a series of questions about specific behaviors. People who know the child well are asked to complete the checklist. The checklists are scored, and they yield a score that enables comparison of a child's ratings compared to other children his or her age.
The Behavior Problem Checklist (BPC) is a self-report measure that structures caregivers' reports of specific behavior problems, activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in care recipients and inquires about the caregiver's understanding of the cause of those problems.
Response format 3-point Likert scale (0 = “Absent”, 1 = “Occurs sometimes”, 2 = “Occurs often”). Strengths: The CBCL is a valid and reliable measure which is sensitive to change in short interventions.

Ing to the normative data of the CBCL, a t-score ≤ 59 indicates non-clinical symptoms, a t-score between 60 and 64 indicates that the child is at risk for problem behaviors, and a t-score ≥ 65 indicates clinical symptoms (for demographical, cognitive, and psychopathological measures of participants, see Table 1).
