Note: Letters A — D indicate the four repeated measures for the study, each comprising two financial difficulty measures over which change is calculated, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire - hyperactivity subscale outcome

Using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), we examined symptoms of ADHD measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) hyperactivity subscale in relation to parent - reported changes in financial difficulty, grouped into four repeated measures at four time points across childhood; (n = 6416).

Several studies have addressed the validity of the parent - reported SDQ in school - aged samples, predominantly confirming the intended 5 - factor structure.5, 6 A 3 - factor configuration of externalizing (conduct problems and hyperactivity), internalizing (emotional and peer problems), and prosocial factors has also been proposed and suggested for use in epidemiologic studies and in low - risk populations.7, 8 The internal reliability of SDQ subscales has been predominantly examined by using Cronbach's α, a measure of the interrelatedness of items; however, α estimates are a lower bound for reliability and is often underestimated.9 A meta - analytic review reported weighted mean α coefficients extracted from 26 studies that showed generally modest reliabilities for parent reports (0.53 < α < 0.76).10 McDonald's ω, which estimates the proportion of a scale measuring a construct, typically yields higher reliability estimates but has rarely been used to assess reliability of the SDQ.

None of the self reported measures had an α > 0.70 and only the hyperactivity — inattention subscale for the parent scale and the hyperactivity — inattention and the prosocial behaviour scales for the teacher scale reached this level.

SDQ total difficulties scores (summed hyperactivity, conduct, emotional, and peer problem scores) were significantly associated with «treatment status» and «presence of any disorder» criteria, supporting concurrent criterion validity of the measure.15, 16 However, each preschool SDQ study was limited to a cross-sectional design, prohibiting examination of factor structure stability over time and validity in predicting future psychopathology.

However, most of this research has not included measures of disorders that appear in childhood [e.g., attention - deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)-RSB-, nor has it considered the full range of possibilities for the latent structure of externalizing behaviors, particularly factor mixture models, which allow for a latent factor to have both continuous and categorical dimensions.
