CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire assess?

It screens for early socio-psychological and developmental factors that may increase later vulnerability to addictive behaviors. It highlights areas such as emotional regulation, social experience, and behavior patterns that may need support.

Who should complete the questionnaire?

A parent or primary caregiver who knows the child’s daily behavior and routines should complete it. If multiple caregivers are involved, one respondent should answer based on typical behavior across settings.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion time is approximately 7 minutes. The questionnaire contains 36 items.

How should responses be selected?

Responses should reflect the child’s usual behavior over recent weeks rather than isolated incidents. If a behavior varies, select the option that best matches what occurs most often.

How should the results be used?

Results are intended for early identification of areas for prevention planning and targeted support. They do not provide a diagnosis and should be interpreted alongside other available information.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Risk Factors for Addiction in Children Aged 6–8 Assessment Test

addiction

In clinical and educational settings, brief parent-report screening can help identify psychosocial vulnerabilities in early elementary-age children. The Risk Factors for Addiction in Children Aged 6–8 Assessment is designed to flag areas of concern that may warrant further evaluation or preventive support.

Developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and Gerald J. Haeffel, it consists of 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items focus on observable behaviors and developmental indicators relevant to social experience, emotional regulation, and adjustment in home and school contexts.

Results from the Risk Factors for Addiction in Children Aged 6–8 Assessment are intended to support clinical formulation and guide targeted follow-up (e.g., consultation with caregivers, monitoring, or referral), rather than to provide a standalone diagnosis. Scores should be interpreted in conjunction with developmental history, current functioning, and other available assessment data.
