Secondaire: None identified

Depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behaviour, self-concept.

This instrument is intended to provide a broad assessment of a child or adolescent’s current mental health. The individual inventories may also be used in isolation to assess specific aspects of child and youth mental health. It is NOT a diagnostic instrument.

This instrument can be used as a measure of self-concept and psychological well-being in children and adolescents, as a measure to identify children and adolescents in need of further intervention or evaluation, and as an assessment of symptom severity.

Children and adolescents ages 7-18.

None at this time

Self-report or verbally administered if necessary.

Adolescent or adult being assessed.

100

5 inventories (depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept) with 20 questions each.

4- point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 3 (always).

5-10 minutes per inventory; 30-60 minutes for full scale.

None (self-report). Training required for verbal administration.

Scoring and interpretation requires a doctorate in psychology, education, or a related field with relevant training and experience in assessment, or a license to practice in a health or allied health care field (e.g. doctors, nurse practitioners, social workers, etc.).

1,278 children and adolescents ages 7-18 from the U.S. Sample was reflective of U.S. population demographics.

The authors report internal consistency (alpha) coefficients ranging from 0.86 to 0.96, and test-retest reliability correlation coefficients ranging from 0.74 to 0.93. Another study found alphas of 0.87 to 0.92, and test-retest coefficients that were all greater than 0.70.

The authors report evidence of good concurrent validity for each of the individual inventories (except the anger inventory) with measures of those constructs (e.g., the depression inventory with the Children’s Depression Inventory), and discriminative validity. A further study found that while the BYI could differentiate between clinical and non-clinical samples, it was bit able to reliably discriminate between internalizing disorders, with the exception of depression.
