Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide an adolescent behaviour problem rating scale for teachers and parents to identify their behavioural problems and can provide proper intervention for both adolescents and parents whenever necessary. This rating scale is also important in clinical and research settings with children suffering from neuro developmental disorders, and particularly with children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This scale provides an interesting qualitative and quantitative picture of the emotional and behavioural conduct problem, learning problem, anxiety, impulsive/hyperactive behaviour, behavioural addictions like alcoholism, drug addiction, internet addiction etc.
