| AIAN: Cronbach's alpha range | Range from 0.69-0.79 across scales (reported by Johns Hopkins University Center for American Indian Health) | |
| AIAN: Evidence of validity | Test-retest reliability values range from 0.64-0.71 for total domains; Internalizing domains has moderate to good correlation with CESD (r=0.65) (reported by Johns Hopkins University Center for American Indian Health) | |
| Other populations: Cronbach's alpha range | Internal consistency of the subscales for the self-report ranges from .55 to .95, with a majority over .75 ( Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001; School Age ASEBA manual). | |
| Other populations: Evidence of validity | Achenbach & Rescorla (in the ASEBA manual) report that the YSR discriminates between youth who are referred to services versus those who are not. Further, the ASEBA scales are significantly associated with DSM-IV diagnoses, the Conners Scales, and the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) |
