Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ-BF) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief caregiver-report measure is used to screen core parenting practices associated with child behavior and family functioning. The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ-BF) provides a structured way to characterize patterns of positive involvement, monitoring/supervision, discipline practices, and consistency.
The form includes 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. It is intended for use in clinical assessment, program evaluation, and research as an efficient indicator of parenting domains that may be relevant to case formulation and intervention planning. Original authors include Wootton, Frick, and Shelton.
Scores from the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ-BF) are generally interpreted as descriptive indicators rather than stand-alone diagnostic findings and should be considered alongside collateral information (e.g., clinical interview, behavioral observations, and other rating scales) when making clinical decisions.
