    Aims. Turkey has the youngest population in Europe with about 25 million people aged below 19 years and Turkish-speaking people comprise the biggest migrant group in Europe with 2.5 million people dispersed in different countries, but conducting epidemiologic surveys on Turkish people is challenging due to the lack of a suitable diagnostic tool. The Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) is one of the most widely used diagnostic interviews in child and adolescent psychiatry. In this study, we aimed at translating the DAWBA into Turkish and then examined its validity and reliability. Methods. The validity of the Turkish version was examined in clinical (n = 50) and community (n = 104) samples. The interrater reliability was also evaluated on 20 cases. Results. The translation method used in the study achieved semantic, conceptual, content, technical, item and criterion equivalence between the Turkish and original forms. The validity of the Turkish DAWBA was good or excellent for different diagnostic categories (κ: 0.43-0.84); the interrater reliability was also excellent (κ: 0.85-1). Conclusions. The Turkish DAWBA may be useful for future prevalence studies in Turkey. European clinicians and researchers who work with Turkish-speaking families can use the online Turkish DAWBA to gather structured information from Turkish-speaking informants and review the answers in their own language.

    Validity and reliability of the turkish version for DSM-5 level 2 anger scale (child form for children aged 11-17 years and parent form for children aged 6-17 years)
    (Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2017) Yalın Sapmaz Ş.; Özek Erkuran H.; Yalin N.; Önen Ö.; Öztekın S.; Kavurma C.; Köroğlu E.; Aydemır Ö.
    Introduction: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Level 2 Anger Scale. Methods: The scale was prepared by translation and back translation of DSM-5 Level 2 Anger Scale. Study groups consisted of a clinical sample of cases diagnosed with depressive disorder and treated in a child and adolescent psychiatry unit and a community sample. The study was continued with 218 children and 160 parents. In the assessment process, child and parent forms of DSM-5 Level 2 Anger Scale and Children’s Depression Inventory and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parent Form were used. Results: In the reliability analyses, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient values were found very high regarding child and parent forms. Item-total score correlation coefficients were high and very high, respectively, for child and parent forms indicating a statistical significance. As for construct validity, one factor was maintained for each form and was found to be consistent with the original form of the scale. As for concurrent validity, the child form of the scale showed significant correlation with Children’s Depression Inventory, while the parent form showed significant correlation with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parent Form. Conclusion: It was found that the Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Anger Scale could be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes. © 2017 by Turkish Association of Neuropsychiatry.

    Validity and reliability of DSM-5 level 1 cross-cutting symptom scale Turkish version (Child form for 11-17 years and parent form for 6-17 years); [DSM-5 düzey 1 kesitsel belirti ölçeği Türkçe formunun geçerliliği ve güvenilirliği (11-17 yaş çocuk ve 6-17 yaş anne-baba formları)]
    (Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, 2017) Yalin Sapmaz Ş.; Özek Erkuran H.; Kavurma C.; Öztürk M.; Uzel Tanriverdi B.; Köroğlu E.; Aydemir Ö.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale’s child and parent forms. Methods: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back translation of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale’s Child and Parent Forms. Study group consisted of community and clinical samples. The scale was applied to 244 parents and 320 adolescents that represented the clinical and community sample. For the assessment, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used along with Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale. For reliability analyses, internal consistency coefficient and item- total score correlation analysis, test- retest factor analysis, interrater reliability and as for validity analyses; exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for concurrent validity were carried out. Results: Cronbach’s alpha values for DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale’s Child Form was 0.893 while 0.90 for parent form. Correlation coefficient of DSM 5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale as a result of its correlation with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was 0.698 for child form and 0.706 for parent form which was statistically significant. Correlation coefficient in test-retest application was r=0.965 for child form and r=0.919 for parent form. As for construct validity, six factors were maintained that would explain 59.3% of the variance in child form. In the parent form, five factors were maintained that would explain 60.3% of the total variance. Conclusion: It was seen that Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale could be used as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes. © 2017, Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine.

    Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 level 2 anxiety scale (Child form for 11-17 years and parent form for 6-17 years)
    (Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2018) Yalin Sapmaz Ş.; Özek Erkuran H.; Karaarslan D.; Öztürk M.; Yörük Ülker G.; Serim Demirgören B.; Köroğlu E.; Aydemir Ö.
    Introduction: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of DSM-5 Level 2 Anxiety Scale’s child and parent forms. Methods: The scale was constructed by carrying out the translation and back translation of DSM-5 Level 2 Anxiety Scale. The study group consisted of a community and clinical sample. The scale was applied to 148 parents and 189 adolescents that represented the clinical and community sample. During the assessment process, Screen for Childhood Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parent Form were also used. Results: Reliability analyses indicated a high internal consistency regarding Level 2 Anxiety Scales, both for child and parent forms (0.915/0.933). In the meantime, it was shown that child form for Level 2 Anxiety Scale was significantly correlated with Screen for Childhood Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (r=0.758, p<0.0001) while the parent form was significantly correlated with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parent Form (r=0.717, p<0.0001). As for the content validity, one factor was obtained for both forms, and it was observed to be consistent with the original construct of the scale. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Anxiety Scale was a valid and reliable tool to be utilized both for clinical practice, and research purposes. © 2016 by Turkish Association of Neuropsychiatry.
