Who would use the CBCL-YSR?

• A. A teacher
• B. A clinician
• C. A parent
• D. Self-report for 11+

Answer: (D)

The Youth Self-Report is designed for youths aged 11 to 18 to complete about their own feelings and behaviors. It captures the child’s own perspective on problems and emotional functioning, including internal experiences that adults might not observe. That’s why the user is the youth themselves—it's a self-report form for someone 11 or older. While clinicians may use it as part of an assessment, the key idea is that the youth fills it out to share their own view, rather than a teacher or parent reporting on the child.
