  • Title: The availability of normative data for the Developmental Behaviour Checklist for Adults.
    Author: Mohr C, Tonge BJ, Taffe J, Einfeld SL.
    Journal: J Intellect Dev Disabil; 2012 Mar; 37(1):61-4. PubMed ID: 22283675.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Standardised normative data for checklists of behavioural and emotional disturbance have a demonstrated usefulness for clinicians, researchers, and service providers. METHOD: The Developmental Behaviour Checklist for Adults (DBC-A) was the instrument used in a large-scale Australian study (n = 1,538) of emotional and behavioural disturbance. RESULTS: To assist the field, normative data is now available on the DBC-A for adults with ID from age 18-85 years, across three levels of intellectual disability (ID). A condensed version of DBC-A normative data is presented here. CONCLUSIONS: A large population-based study provided an opportunity for further checklist development, and the utility of the DBC-A has been enhanced by the provision of normative data.
