IQ as a predictor of clinician‐rated mental health problems in children and adolescents
Objective. Previous studies indicate that low IQ is a substantial risk factor for developing mental health problems. Based on these results, we hypothesized that IQ may predict some of the variance in clinician‐rated severity of children's mental health problems measured with the Children'...

Previous studies indicate that low IQ is a substantial risk factor for developing mental health problems.

Methods. In this study, 132 patients at three outpatient clinics in North Norway were assessed with the parent version of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), HoNOSCA, CGAS, and with the WISC‐III. Results. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted with HoNOSCA and CGAS as dependent variables. Demographics, WISC‐III IQ scores, and SDQ were entered as independent variables. The model with HoNOSCA as the dependent variable predicted 25% of the total variance. The WISC‐III full‐scale IQ predicted an additional 6% of the variance. The analyses with CGAS as the dependent variable gave no significant results. Conclusion. When a patient has a high HoNOSCA score, an intelligence test in addition to an evaluation of symptoms on mental health should be considered. Future research ought to examine whether HoNOSCA's ability to detect change might be affected by patients IQ.
