Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Young Adult Self Report, Wave 2, 1997-2000

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One of the measures that composed the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Young Adult Self Report (YASR). The YASR protocol, a self-administered survey, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach. It has been a widely used measure for evaluating subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 with respect to their functioning in social relationships, level of mental, emotional and physical health, substance use and abuse, and their tendencies toward antisocial and criminal behavior. The Wave 2 PHDCN version of the Young Adult Self Report, including an officially revised version of behavior problem items, offered a thorough self-assessment of the respondents belonging to Cohort 18 of the Longitudinal Cohort Study, scoring each respondent based on his or her level of psychological and behavioral functioning.

芝加哥社区人类发展项目（The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, PHDCN）是一项大规模跨学科研究，旨在探究家庭、学校和社区如何影响儿童及青少年的发展。PHDCN的核心组成部分之一为纵向队列研究（Longitudinal Cohort Study），该研究是一系列协同开展的纵向追踪项目，对6000余名随机选取的儿童、青少年、青年及其主要照护者进行长期随访，以考察可能促使他们产生或远离各类反社会行为的生活环境变化及个人特征。研究人员采用多种测量工具对受访者进行评估，涵盖人类发展的多个维度，包括个体差异以及家庭、同伴与学校的影响。纵向队列研究的关键测量工具之一是青年自我报告（Young Adult Self Report, YASR），这是由Thomas M. Achenbach首次开发的自填式调查协议。YASR被广泛应用于评估18至30岁受试者的社交功能、心理-情绪-身体健康水平、物质使用与滥用情况，以及反社会和犯罪行为倾向。PHDCN的青年自我报告第二波版本（含官方修订的行为问题条目）针对纵向队列研究18队列的受访者开展了全面自我评估，并依据每位受访者的心理与行为功能水平进行评分。
