Internal consistency of the self-report version reported as satisfactory. Although not
high, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from .53 for the total SDQ score at T1 and .73 at
T2. The internal consistency of the self-report Impairment Impact Supplement was
excellent (α = .96). Internal consistency of the teacher’s version was also high (α = 0.91
at T1 and 0.90 at T2).
The psychometric properties of the SDQ are good (Goodman, 2001); validity of the total score is satisfactory.underprivileged and underschooled high school students school settings1.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used as a comparator instrument completed by parent/carers of 32 children; mean effect size, 0.39. The effect size difference between both instruments was not significant (t = 1.05; p = .30); the PSYCHLOPS Kids Problem domain effect size (mean, 0.68) was significantly greater than for the SDQ (t = 2.06; p = .04). Concurrent validity was demonstrated by strong predictive power of change scores for the self‐assessment of change item in PSYCHLOPS Kids; therapist‐assessment of change was not a significant predictor of change scores.
