OBJECTIVE
The General Behavior Inventory (GBI) is a questionnaire that has utility in the assessment of mood disorders in adults. The purpose of this study was to examine how the GBI might optimally be used in the assessment of youths.
METHOD
Children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 17 years participated in this study. All youths were evaluated with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children (K-SADS). Based on the K-SADS results, subjects were…

Results replicate previous findings that, in decreasing order of efficiency, the PGBI-SF10, P-MDQ, and P-YMRS significantly discriminate bipolar from non-bipolar cases in youths aged 5-18; and they appear robust in a demographically diverse community setting.

Parent report was more useful than teacher report or adolescent self-report on the index tests studied and could facilitate differential diagnosis of bipolar disorder in youths aged 5 to 17 years, especially by decreasing the rate of false-positive diagnoses.
