Abstract

ABSTRACT The Boxall Profile is one of the most frequently used tools to measure the social, emotional, behavioural and/or mental health difficulties (SEMH) of children and young people in schools across the UK. However, limited evidence exists regarding the norms and psychometric properties of the tool. The current study used data from 487 primary school-aged children to carry out a re-standardisation and explore a range of psychometric properties of the Boxall Profile. Updated norms were established for 4- to 11-year-old children using a Receiver Operating Characteristic approach and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire as gold standard measure for SEMH difficulties. Psychometric analyses indicated good internal consistency, concurrent validity and convergent validity but also highlighted the need for further research into the structural validity of the tool. To our knowledge, this is the first study providing substantial evidence for the reliability and validity of the Boxall Profile since its publication in 1984.

小学学龄儿童Boxall档案的英国规范和心理测量特性

Boxall Profile是衡量英国学校儿童和青少年的社会、情感、行为和/或心理健康困难(SEMH)最常用的工具之一。然而，关于该工具的规范和心理测量特性的证据有限。目前的研究使用了487名小学学龄儿童的数据来进行重新标准化，并探索了Boxall Profile的一系列心理测量特性。使用接受者工作特征方法和优势与困难问卷作为SEMH困难的金标准测量，为4至11岁儿童建立了更新的规范。心理测量分析表明，该工具具有良好的内部一致性、并发效度和收敛效度，但其结构效度有待进一步研究。据我们所知，这是自1984年发布Boxall Profile以来，首次为其可靠性和有效性提供实质性证据的研究。
