Scoring
Children report symptoms and signs of illness and of well-being, health-related behaviors, problem behavior, school performance, and involvement with family and peers. The majority of items assess frequency of events, typically over the past 4 weeks, using a five-point response format. Items on the Child Report Form (CRF) are illustrated with cartoon-type characters 'anchoring' the ends of each set of five graduated-circle responses. The scenes feature a race, age, and gender neutral character.
 
Rationale/Justification
