Description
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a commonly used, brief behavioural screening questionnaire and treatment evaluation measure for 4-16 year olds. It is used to check on emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer relationships and prosocial behaviours. It exists in several versions to meet the needs of researchers, clinicians and educationalists.
Through a multidisciplinary research project involving University of York Linguistic research expertise, the SDQ has been translated into British Sign Language (BSL). This was the first such emotional difficulties assessment tool available to children and adolescents in any sign language globally.

Key findings
There are three main impacts of this work:
1. The availability of the SDQ in BSL,the first or preferred language of the Deaf
community in Britain. The SDQ is an important screening tool for children and adolescents. This is the first and only tool available for this purpose, and transforms access to diagnostic tools in mental health for Deaf children, their families and teachers
2. The uptake of the SDQ in BSL, to being used by 9/10 National Deaf Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in England. It is to be adopted as a key performance indicator in the next revision of the National Deaf Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (NDCAMHS) National Service Specification.
3. The adoption of the translation process for other sign languages: American Sign Language (ASL) and Norwegian Sign Language (NTS).
