This issue brief presents findings from the Universal Preschool Child Outcomes Study, which examined a diverse group of Los Angeles preschoolers. The study integrated three strategies—card sorts, focus groups, and cognitive interviewing—to measure how parents rate their children’s social-emotional behavior. The brief examines the implications of using these measures, which were developed by and for clinicians, with diverse populations.
