Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)

A Child Behavior Checklist is one component of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA), a methodology that is used to detect behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. ASEBA collects and correlates information from three separate sources:

• The Child Behavior Checklist, which parents complete. 
• The Teacher’s Report Form (TRF), which teachers complete
• The Youth Self-Report (YSR), is completed by the child or adolescent him or herself.
