Abstract

There are virtually no psychiatric screening or diagnostic instruments validated for use with American Indian Children in the Navajo Nation, the largest American Indian reservation in the United Sates. In order to begin to remedy this problem, we completed a preliminary study examining the validity and reliability of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Test Observation Form (TOF) for American Indian children in the Navajo Nation. The CBCL is a parent report to screen for developmental psychopathology, whereas the TOF is a companion form, completed by trained assessors, to rate observed behaviors in 2- to 18-year-old children.
