Description
Chen Jiang and co-authors shrink a classic child behavior checklist from thirty-four items to ten, aiming for a fast screen for attention problems. Long forms burden clinics and families, yet cutting items risks losing accuracy. Their 2026 study uses long-running family cohort data at three time points, split for building and testing.
The ten-item form keeps a clean three-factor structure and steady scores across groups. It held together well as a scale, and its scores barely shifted with who was measured. For spotting ADHD, it performed well, with a best cutoff of three points balancing hits and false alarms. The authors offer it as a practical screen that keeps the most telling signs of attention and behavior problems.
