The study was conducted on 957 school children using Rutter B scale which was to be completed by the class teachers in Ludhiana, India. One hundred and forty-one children (14.6%) scored more than 9 points and were included in the second part of the study. An equal number of sex matched children scoring less than 9 points served as controls. Both these groups were called for an interview with a child psychiatrist along with their parents. Only 117 and 124 children turned up and were included in the analysis. Based on the screening instrument results and parental interview, 45.6% of the children were estimated to have behavioural problems, of which 36.5% had significant problems. It was noticed that neither the screening instrument nor the interview was able to detect all the problems. Scholastic under-achievement was found to be associated with maximum problems. Scholastic under-achievement can be a useful starting point of identifying children with behavioural problems. Close cooperation between school teachers, parents, and health care providers is essential to ensure healthy development of children.
