Which CBCL variant is completed by a teacher for school-aged children?

• A. CBCL-YSR
• B. CBCL-Profile
• C. CBCL-TRF
• D. CBCL-Parent Form

Answer: (C)

The Teacher's Report Form (TRF) is the CBCL variant completed by a teacher for school-aged children. Teachers observe kids in the school setting, so this form specifically captures behavior, functioning, and problems as they appear at school. It complements other reports by providing insight from the educational environment, which parents or youths may not fully observe. The Youth Self-Report is completed by the child themselves, offering a self-assessment rather than an observer’s report. The Parent Form is completed by a caregiver and reflects behaviors seen at home or across settings, not strictly in school. The CBCL-Profile can involve data from multiple informants, not just one. So for information gathered by a teacher about a child in the school context, the appropriate variant is the Teacher's Report Form.
