摘要
Background The Children's Moods, Fears and Worries Questionnaire (CMFWQ) is a recently developed parent-report measure for detecting young children's internalising difficulties. This study evaluated construct and criterion-related validity with a clinical sample. Method The measure was completed by 30 mothers of children aged between 18 months and 7 years referred to hospital clinical psychology services. Results The CMFWQ demonstrated sound convergent and discriminant validity and a clinical cut-point was established, which optimally discriminated between children with internalising problems and those within the normal range. Conclusion The CMFWQ has potential value for identifying young children in need of intervention for internalising problems.
