INTRODUCTION: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a 25-item screening measure for emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents ages 4 to 17. AIM: To evaluate the reliability and factor structure of SDQ teacher version in a sample of Albanian elementary school children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: coefficient and average inter-item correlation. Both Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) examined the underlying factor structure of the questionnaire. RESULTS: (265)= 1562.72, p<.0001; Comparative Fit index, (CFI) =.814; Tucker-Lewis Index, (TLI) =.772) and Root Mean-Square Error of Approximation ( RMSEA) =.095 indicating a misfit. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a different pattern of factor loadings for items of hyperactivity and conduct scale suggesting a non-one-dimensional contribution of the items. CONCLUSION: The SDQ demonstrated satisfying reliability based on internal consistency coefficients but must be used with caution when screening for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder in Albanian elementary school children
