	(Teachers' responses)		(Combination of teachers' and the 11–16-year-old chi ldren's responses)

* The categorisation is formed on the basis of a manual based on British data (background population and clinical child psychiatric material).
** Former investigations of the prediction of the SDQ have shown that of these children with an estimated psychopathology possible around 10–26% have a psychiatric diagnosis and around 74–90% do not have a psychiatric diagnosis [23, 24].
