“It covers a lot and the aggressive and rule breaking behaviour is different than the other. Lots of questions so, obviously there’s a lot of little things that you need to click or mark off, so thought that it covered a broad spectrum of items that you would need to look at for a child’s behavior. It should be replaced with Strength and difficulty one” (Family/Caregiver)

“I get bored doing those. I put. I think the child behavior check was lower because it was like 100 questions like I could not because if it’s too long, then you’ll just start like answering the questions to get it over with”. (Patients)
