β¦ Synopsis
viewed using a questionnaire that consisted of the Bangla translation of the YSR and other questions. Thirty-eight randomly selected adolescents were administered the same questionnaire one week after the first administration. All the core scores and most of the subscales showed high internal consistency other than small item-number subscales, and satisfactory testretest reliability. Good discriminant validity was shown for most of the scale scores. This study showed that the Bangla translation of the YSR had sufficient reliability and validity for use in Bangladesh. The cutoff scores of the scales were higher for the Bangla version than for the original English version, and further studies exploring this point would be an asset.
