Abstract

Primary care physicians (PCPs) frequently serve pediatric patients with developmental delays and disorders (DD/D). Although the most widely used primary care behavioral health screener, the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (PSC-17), is validated for use with children without DD/D, it is unclear whether this measure accurately identifies behavioral health symptoms in youth with DD/D. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the PSC-17 for children with DD/D. Medical record data from 3596 pediatric patients at a primary care clinic were analyzed. Descriptive analyses, measurement invariance testing, and internal consistency evaluations were conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the PSC-17. The results of these analyses support the use of the PSC-17 for behavioral health screening for children with DD/D. Behavioral health screening in this population is critical, because the timely identification of behavioral health concerns can facilitate early intervention, which may enhance long-term functioning.

针对发育迟缓和发育障碍儿童的儿科症状核对表-17 的心理测量特性研究》（Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 for Children with Development Delays and Disorders）。

初级保健医生（PCP）经常为患有发育迟缓和障碍（DD/D）的儿科患者提供服务。尽管最广泛使用的初级保健行为健康筛查工具--《儿科症状清单-17》（PSC-17）已经过验证，可用于无发育迟缓和障碍的儿童，但该工具是否能准确识别患有发育迟缓和障碍的青少年的行为健康症状尚不清楚。因此，本研究旨在评估 PSC-17 在 DD/D 儿童中的心理测量特性。研究分析了一家初级保健诊所 3596 名儿科患者的病历数据。通过描述性分析、测量不变性测试和内部一致性评价来评估 PSC-17 的心理测量特性。这些分析结果支持将 PSC-17 用于残疾/残疾儿童的行为健康筛查。对这一人群进行行为健康筛查至关重要，因为及时发现行为健康问题可以促进早期干预，从而提高长期功能。
