| Psychometrics | Norm-referenced | |
| AIAN: Cronbach's alpha range | Range from 0.63-0.81 across domains (reported by Johns Hopkins University Center for American Indian Health). In another study, Cronbach's alpha of the ITSEA domains ranged from α = .62 to .88 (Sarche, Croy, Big Crow, Mitchell, & Spicer, 2009). |
| AIAN: Evidence of validity | More information needed. Sarche et al. (2009) report relations between the ITSEA and: mothers' social support, mother's American Indian cultural identity, maternal stress, and maternal substance abuse; this suggests the measure demonstrates meaningful relations in AIAN samples. |
| Other populations: Cronbach's alpha range | Ranges from 0.80-0.90 (Carter, Briggs-Gowan, Jones, & Little, 2003). Test-retest reliability: 0.82-0.90; Inter-rater reliability: 0.58-0.79 (Carter, Briggs-Gowan, Jones, & Little, 2003)
|
| Other populations: Evidence of validity | Criterion validity: the ITSEA shows meaningful correlations with other parent-report and observational measures of child social-emotional development (Carter et al., 2003). |

| Summary | Comments about sensitivity to change | |
| General remarks | Not as widely used as CBCL, but seems to be sensitive to change and appears to be user-friendly in this population.
