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
These proportions broadly match that which is expected of SDQ
scores taken from any
community population 4 and are comparable to those found
in earlier Scottish research with a similarly aged, though smaller,
sample drawn from Edinburgh and North Lanarkshire (Dunlop et al., 2008).
Replication will also be important
in light of the fact that mean
scores on the TriPM
in community samples are not yet well established, such that we were unable to confirm how psychopathy
scores in our
sample compared with those of similar
community samples.
Mean Subscale
Scores by age and gender for the parent completed SDQ
in a
community sample of 3 — 17 year old Chinese children
Despite these limitations, the results of the present study confirmed that the HADS has good psychometric properties
in an Italian
community sample as well as
in the Italian clinical study [28], and that the HADS
scores, especially the general psychological distress one, can be reliably used for assessing age and gender differences.
Results showed that children
in this study did not differ from
community samples of children with regard to their level of anxiety (M = 27.31, SD = 16.37) and
scored significantly lower than other
samples of clinically anxious children from the US [t (15) = -6.00, p < 0.001].
The results of the present study confirmed that the HADS has good psychometric properties
in an Italian
community sample, and that the HADS
scores, especially the general psychological distress one, can be reliably used for assessing age and gender differences.
The assessment and data
scoring procedures were identical for the two
samples, as the data collection
in the PPD study was modelled after that
in the
community study for the purpose of the present comparison.
This cutoff point corresponds to 80th percentile
scores for
community samples and has a 95 % sensitivity for diagnosing major depressive disorder (MDD) among low - income women, although the specificity and positive predictive value for MDD are low (70 % and 0.28, respectively).29, 30 The cutoff point of 16 has been used by many investigators assessing depressive symptoms
in a variety of cohorts, including pregnant women.28 — 33 When studying depressive symptoms during pregnancy, some investigators chose to use a higher CES - D cutoff point (eg, the 90th percentile) to account for the possibility that symptoms of normal pregnancy may overlap with symptoms of depression.9, 18 There is no evidence that this approach is more accurate or preferable to using the cutoff point of 16, and the use of higher cutoff points increases specificity but decreases sensitivity for MDD.28 We used a consistent cutoff point of 16 to define depressive symptoms before and after parturition.
In addition, daughters of mothers who had PPD had lower verbal intelligence scores than girls in the community sampl

Mean Subscale
Scores by gender for the self completed SDQ
in a
community sample of 11 — 17 year old Chinese children
Both total and specific SCARED
scores presented moderate sensitivity and specificity for detecting AD
in a
community sample.
The scale can be used as a continuous variable with increasing levels of emotional distress represented by higher
scores or as a categorical variable with standard cutpoints of ≥ 16 and ≥ 23 indicating significant levels of depressive symptomatology but with corresponding differences
in sensitivity and specificity for major depressive disorder
in community samples (18, 20, 21).
Scores ≥ 10 and > 12 indicate probable depression
in community and clinical
samples, respectively.12, 13 Mothers rated their stress levels (1 = «no problems or stresses» to 5 = «many problems and stressful») and coping (1 = «extremely well» to 5 = «not at all») on global 5 - point scales.14 Two additional questions assessed limits on daily functioning as a result of maternal emotional or physical health problems (adapted from a generic health measure, the SF6).
