The norm sample for the Parent Checklist (N=531) and the Teacher Checklist (N=398) consisted of children between 3 and 5 years old who attended day care, preschool, and Head Start programs. T scores and raw scores for males and females are presented separately on Symptom Severity Profile score sheets.
