Description

Early regulatory problems put a lot of distress on the affected families and they constitute a major risk factor for experiencing maltreatment and developing psychological disorders later in life. Nevertheless, little is known about the prevalence and etiological factors of these problems. We developed an interview for parents of children up to four years to facilitate the detection, study and treatment of early behavioral problems. In this study, we examine the acceptability and the psychometric properties of our interview (Baby-DIPS) in a community and a clinical sample.
