We report the results of a convergent validity study examining the externalizing subscale (SRSS-E5, five items) of the adapted Student Risk Screening Scale for Internalizing and Externalizing (SRSS-IE 9) with the externalizing subscale of the Teacher Report Form (TRF) with two samples of K–12 students. Results of logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curves analyzed with a sample of 195 K–5 students from 13 schools across three states suggested the following preliminary cutting scores for the SRSS-E5 for use at the elementary level: 0 to 1 for low risk, 2 to 3 for moderate risk, and 4 to 15 for high risk for externalizing behaviors. Results of the same analyses with a sample of 227 students in Grades 6 to 12 suggested the following preliminary cutting scores for the SRSS-E5 for use in middle and high (secondary) schools: 0 to 4 for low risk, 5 to 6 for moderate risk, and 7 to 15 for high risk for externalizing behaviors. For both samples, sensitivity and specificity levels were acceptable, as was the correct classification rate. We discuss findings and limitations and emphasize the importance of replication before shifting screening practices from the SRSS-IE 12 (12 items) to the newly adapted SRSS-IE 9 (9 items).

SRSS-IE 外部化分数线以促进 K-12 学校数据知情决策的分析


我们报告了一项收敛有效性研究的结果，该研究检查了改编后的内化和外化学生风险筛查量表 （SRSS-IE 9） 的外化分量表（SRSS-E5，五个项目）与教师报告表 （TRF） 的外化分量表，其中包含两个 K-12 学生样本。对来自三个州 195 所学校的 13 名 K-5 学生的样本进行分析的逻辑回归和接受者操作特征曲线的结果表明，SRSS-E5 在小学阶段使用的初步分数如下：0 到 1 为低风险，2 到 3 为中等风险，4 到 15 为高风险外化行为。对 227 名 6 至 12 年级学生样本的相同分析结果表明，用于初中和高中（中学）的 SRSS-E5 的初步分数为以下：低风险为 0 至 4，中等风险为 5 至 6，外化行为为高风险为 7 至 15。对于这两个样本，敏感性和特异性水平都是可接受的，正确的分类率也是可以接受的。在将筛查实践从 SRSS-IE 12 （12 项） 转移到新适应的 SRSS-IE 9 （9 项） 之前，我们讨论了发现和局限性，并强调了复制的重要性。
