The Yale Children’s Inventory—A screening tool for attention deficits and related disorders. Normative data for boys
Norwegian populated‐based normative data on the Yale Children’s Inventory (YCI) were provided for boys. All parents of boys aged 8 through 11 years in the county of Hammerfest received the YCI, and 77% responded. Mean scores on the YCI scales attention, activity, tractability, and fine motor were si...
