Abstract

Clinical assessment has been presented in the literature as involving extensive time and resources. Unfortunately, the realities of a comprehensive mental health clinic and private practice typically require well-focused, relatively short-term interventions, which in turn dictate that the assessment be brief and assist in the identification of the target problems as early as possible. This study provided an extension of previous standardization of a behavior checklist to ensure its relevance to current urban society and its appropriateness for application to a broad range of children's and adolescents' clinical problems. Based on this study, as well as previous validation research, the Louisville Behavior Checklist appears to represent an important clinical assessment for use by therapists, program evaluators, and administrators of community mental health centers and private practice.
