Digital reading has already been incorporated into educational practice
for a wide variety of students who struggle to maintain a grade - level
score in reading, especially students on the autism spectrum and students who have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and attention deficit

Fifty percent of children (mean
score = 15.72)
scored in the clinical range and
scores on subscales were between 36 percent
for hyperactivity to 44 percent
for emotional symptoms and conduct problems.
For hyperactivity / inattention measured with ASRS, the test of pairwise comparisons did not reveal any differences between groups (all p > 0.05), although the ANOVA did show a main effect (p = 0.032) and the never poor group had the lowest mean
score.
For emotional, conduct and hyperactivity — inattention problems, participants «never poor» scored significantly lower relative to those who were moving into poverty, and for conduct problems, also relative to those «chronically poor» (all p < 0.05, see figure 2

The ASRS was originally constructed
for use in adults, 52 but has also been validated
for use among adolescents.53 The current study used the total
score where all 18 items were added together (range = 0 — 72, ordinal α = 0.91), the inattention scale consisting of nine items (range = 0 — 36, ordinal α = 0.89), and the
hyperactivity — impulsivity scale consisting of nine items (range = 0 — 36, ordinal α = 0.84).
Considering every aspect, there is a statistically significant difference in
hyperactivity problems between these children groups F (429) = 3.699, p = 0.02, in which the group of children with both parents working far away from home reported higher
score of
hyperactivity problems than those having migrant father (the average difference
score is 0.56, p = 0.00); emotional problem F (424) = 4.124, p = 0.01, in which the group children whose both parents work away from home reported higher
scores of emotional problems than those with only fathers migrating
for employment (the average difference
score between 2 groups is 0.71, p = 0.00).
Specifically, children whose parents work away from home had higher
scores of
hyperactivity than those living with parents, the mean
scores of these two groups were 3.31
for the former and 2.56
for the latter and t (1046) = 7.310, p = 0.00.
There appeared to be no effect
for age
for the primary «social» factors, whereas the «rigidity» and «rigidity /
hyperactivity» factor
scores decreased with age and the «non-verbal communication» factor
scores increased with age.
Scoring programs
for the CAPA and YAPA, written in SAS, 41 combined information about the date of onset, duration, and intensity of each symptom to create diagnoses according to the DSM - IV.29 With the exception of attention - deficit /
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
for which only parental reports were counted, a symptom was counted as present if it was reported by either the parent or the child until age 16 years or by the young adult at ages 19 and 21 years, as is standard clinical practice.
Considering each aspect of the difficulty, on notable point is that there is difference between those children groups in
hyperactivity, F (341) = 5.921, p = 0.003, in which children of parents working away from home
for less than 2 years reported higher
score in
hyperactivity problems than those having parents working away
for 2 - 5 years (the average
score of difference between two groups was 0.84, p = 00.1); conduct problems F (339) = 10.396, p = 0.000, in which children whose parents working away from home
for less than two years had higher
score in conduct problems than those having parents working away
for 2 - 5 years (the average
score of difference between 2 groups was 1.00, p = 0.00).
Grouped t tests were used to compare the mean change in
scores in the control and intervention groups where the differences were normally distributed (ECBI intensity
score, SDQ total
score, PSI parent child interaction, and parent domains), and Mann - Whitney U tests
for the mean change in
scores in the two groups where the differences were not normally distributed (ECBI problem
score, SDQ conduct,
hyperactivity, emotional, peer and prosocial scales, GHQ somatic anxiety, social, depression and total
scores, PSI difficult child domain and total
score, and SES).
This pattern of change in means over the decade between the 2005 study and ours appears consistent with the small, but significant, increases observed between 2007 and 2012 in the self - report subscale means
for Total Difficulties, Emotional Symptoms, Peer Relationship Problems and
Hyperactivity - Inattention (but a decrease in Conduct Problems) in nationally representative New Zealand samples of children aged 12 — 15 years, 28 and with a similar increase in Emotional Symptoms and decrease in Conduct Problems between 2009 and 2014 in English community samples of children aged 11 — 13 years.29 The mean PLE
score in the MCS sample aligned closely with that reported previously
for a relatively deprived inner - city London, UK, community sample aged 9 — 12 years19 using these same nine items, although the overall prevalence of a «Certainly True» to at least one of the nine items in the MCS (52.2 %) was lower than that obtained in the London sample (66.0 %).8
Compared with population norms, mean
scores were above the 97th centile
for conduct problems, above the 90th centile
for hyperactivity, and above the 78th centile
for emotional problems.
This well validated semistructured interview uses investigator based criteria to assess the frequency and severity of antisocial behaviours such as fighting, destruction, and disobedience;
scores are strongly predictive of later psychosocial outcome.16 The κ inter-rater reliability statistic on 20 randomly selected interviews was 0.84
for the conduct problems scale, 0.81
for the
hyperactivity scale, and 0.76
for the emotional problems scale.
The difference between children in the least and most deprived areas was the most extreme in relation to conduct problems (23 % versus 41 % had borderline or abnormal
scores for this),
hyperactivity (13 % versus 27 %), and total difficulties (7 % versus 20 %).
Boys were more likely than girls to have borderline or abnormal
scores in relation to total difficulties, conduct,
hyperactivity, and pro-social behaviour, whereas differences were less pronounced
for emotional symptoms and peer problems.
Children have low pro-social
scores but fairly average
scores for emotional symptoms, conduct problems,
hyperactivity / inattention and peer relationship problems.
For example, 61 % of those children whose scores were in the borderline range for hyperactivity at age 3 had moved into the normal range at entry to primary scho

The SDQ consists of five scales of five items each, generating
scores for conduct problems (e.g., «Steals from home, school or elsewhere»),
hyperactivity - inattention (e.g., «Restless, overactive, can not stay still
for long»), emotional symptoms (e.g., «Many worries, often seems worried»), peer problems (e.g., «Rather solitary, tends to play alone»), and prosocial behavior (e.g., «Helpful if someone is hurt, upset or feeling ill»).
The SDQ Total Difficulties
Score (TDS) was calculated by aggregating the
scores for the emotional symptoms, conduct problems,
hyperactivity - inattention, and peer problems subscales (range 0 — 40).
AVE
scores for the preferred model C ranged from 0.34 (peer problems) to 0.60 (
hyperactivity), with only
hyperactivity achieving the 0.50 benchmark
for satisfactory internal convergent validity.22 However, every subscale demonstrated adequate external discriminant validity, with AVE
scores exceeding squared interfactor correlations.
We converted CBCL Inattention Problems
scores into norm deviation
scores using CBCL norm
scores for preschool children (Achenbach and Rescorla 2000; i.e., values reflect the number of standard deviations the child
scores above or below the population norm), which in turn were converted to SDQ
Hyperactivity and Inattention
scores using SDQ norm
scores for children aged 2 to 7 (NHIS 2001).
Standardized Cronbach's alpha coefficients (α) were computed
for the SDQ scales (emotional symptoms, conduct problems,
hyperactivity / inattention, peer problems, prosocial behavior) impact

Mental health problems were assessed using the self - report version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), a multi-informant wide - angle screening questionnaire.26, 27 The SDQ has been used in a large number of population - based studies in several countries.27 It is a 25 - item questionnaire with five subscales, each consisting of five items, generating
scores for emotional symptoms, conduct problems,
hyperactivity — inattention, peer problems and prosocial behaviour.
After adjusting
for potential confounding variables using the propensity
score, smoking during pregnancy was found to increase the odds
for attention - deficit /
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) OR = 2.59 (CI 1.5 — 4.34, p < 0.001), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) OR = 2.69 (CI 1.84 — 3.91, p = 0.02) and comorbid OR = 2.55 (CI 1.24 — 5.23, p < 0.001).
All caregivers completed the 25 - item Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; Goodman, 1997)-- a commonly used child - psychiatric screener that yields symptom
scores for emotional symptoms (i.e., anxiety and mood symptoms), conduct problems,
hyperactivity, and peer problems.
Childhood SDQ
scores (
hyperactivity, emotional difficulties) were available
for 92.0 % of EOP (n = 614) and 93.6 % of Low CP (n = 4737) children.
