Parents were asked to indicate the extent to which statements were true of their child's behavior in the past month using a 3-pt scale (not true, somewhat true, and certainly true). Response options for each item ranged from 0-2. Subscale totals were created by summing responses for a possible range of 0-10 for each subscale. The sums from each subscale were summed to create a composite score. High scores indicate greater conduct problems. |
