I've read some things about this, and yes, it seems valid to me.

By the way, my score was 0, so what do I know?
I'm a 9 and my siblings were 8 or more. Maybe a even 10, my mom wasn't in prison but she had short stints in mental hospitals, detoxes, and other absences. We've all struggled, I'm really happy that schools are taking an interest, teacher friends of mine are enlightened and motivated. They are using this scale but I think the details are less important than awareness.

I was so oblivious, I had a friend who also had a bunch of sibs and a single drinking mom. She was the "fast girl" in school and it was common knowledge among the kids that her older brother was molesting her younger brother. It literally never dawned on me until about 5 years ago that he was likely molesting her as well.
reasonable thought but there are so many other factors that could come into play

@Allamanda most screening tools are “a bit simplistic.” There are only so many questions you can ask before it becomes a counseling session.
My program asks 11 questions to evaluate depression. One kid screened positive because she had the flu last week, another because he had spent the previous 2 weeks in jail. The idea is to catch the the majority of positive cases for further evaluation.
