The Child Behavior Checklist‐Dysregulation Profile predicts substance use, suicidality, and functional impairment: a longitudinal analysis

Abstract

Children with high CBCL-DP values are at risk for later severe, psychiatric symptomatology. The different developmental trajectories suggest that the CBCL-DP is not simply an early manifestation of a single disease process but might rather be an early developmental risk marker of a persisting deficit of self-regulation of affect and behavior.
