TL;DR: Depression of mothers and fathers affects young children's well-being, and if parents reported about their own depression and about child problems, associations were inflated.

TL;DR: The high NPV indicates that in a referred population the scale is especially good at identifying children who do not need evaluation with a more ASD-specific instrument, and might be an acceptable percentage of false positives in general screening.

TL;DR: Independently of legal status, the following characteristics were associated with admission: severity of psychiatric symptoms, consultation outside the patient’s home, and high levels of family disruption.

TL;DR: This study examined multiple determinants of discrepancies between mother and child reports of problem behavior and identified four profiles, differing in problem level, and the direction and magnitude of mother–child discrepancies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that systematically interviewing preschool and young elementary school-aged children should be an integral part of child assessment and contribute to a better understanding of child development and may predict future problems.
