The SDQ is particularly useful in the field of pediatrics for several reasons:
Early Identification: It helps in the early identification of emotional and behavioral issues, allowing for timely intervention. Holistic View: The inclusion of both strengths and difficulties provides a well-rounded view of the child's psychological profile. Multiple Informants: The SDQ can be filled out by parents, teachers, and the children themselves, offering multiple perspectives. Standardized Tool: Being a standardized tool, it allows for consistent assessments across different settings.
