UBPIB: Age 12-17 Behavioral Problem Index score

Name: UBPIB

Label: Age 12-17 Behavioral Problem Index score

Text: This scale is used to assess behavior and emotional problems for youth ages 12 to 17. Basically, the MKA`s answers to the six questions (N3 and N5) are used. These questions concern the MKA`s perceptions about the child's behavior in the past month. The response categories are often true (assigned a value of 1), sometimes true (assigned a value of 2), and never true (assigned a value of 3). Responses are totaled, creating a scale score ranging from 6 to 18. A higher score indicates fewer behavior problems. Scores for respondents who answered five out of the six questions were standardized to the 18-point scale. Score values of .I were assigned to cases that were inapplicable or missing.
