Abstract:
This research is conducted in two stages with an epidemiological methodology. The population of the study is composed of boys and girls aged between 6 and 11 years old, who seek a consultation in a Primary Care Paediatric Centre for a period of three months (point prevalence, one day prevalence). In the first stage, the Achenbach CBCL is used as screening instrument, and in the second stage, the ESPI clinical interview with DSM-III-R criteria. The CBCL acts as an adequate screening instrument for a cross-section corresponding to p 70 in this sample. The emotional disturbances in this paediatric population are a 30.2% rate of prevalence, of which only less than half are forwarded to a Child Mental Health Service.
