Youth Self-Report (YSR)

The Youth Self Report (ages 11-18) (Achenbach, 2001) is a 112 item scale that measures problem behaviors, socially desirable behaviors, narrow-band syndromes (Anxious-Depressed, Withdrawn/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Rule-Breaking Behavior, and Aggressive Behavior), and broad-band syndromes (externalizing and internalizing), using a 3 point Likert scale (0 = not true, 2 = somewhat or sometimes true, or 3=very true or often true).
