What age range is used for the CBCL?

• A. 6-18
• B. 3-12
• C. 11-21
• D. 0-5

Answer: (A)

The CBCL is designed with age-specific forms, and the version used for school-age kids and adolescents targets ages six to eighteen. This form is widely used to screen for emotional and behavioral problems based on caregiver or teacher observations over the past six months. There’s also a separate preschool version for younger children (about 1.5 to 5 years old), so a range like 0–5 isn’t the standard CBCL period. The other ranges don’t match the official school-age form, making six to eighteen the correct choice.
