Abstract

This chapter seeks to provide an overview of some common assessment measures for emotional/behavioral problems in Asian-American youth. Measures for which psychometric data are available only for Asian populations are also noted. Rating scales in the current youth behavioral assessment literature discussed include: (1) Global impairment scales, (2) Domain-specific scales, and (3) Symptom-specific scales. We conclude the chapter with recommendations of how to utilize these measures and provide suggestions for future research to improve the utility of behavioral assessments for Asian-American youth.
