Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6–18 (CBCL/6–18)

The Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6–18 (CBCL/6–18) is part of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA), developed by Thomas M. Achenbach at the University of Vermont. It is completed by a parent or another adult who knows the child well and provides information about the child's competencies and emotional and behavioral problems over the previous six months. The checklist includes 113 problem items rated on a three-point scale, as well as sections addressing activities, social functioning, and school performance, alongside open-ended questions about concerns and strengths. Results are interpreted using age- and sex-appropriate norms associated with the authorized version.
