National Norms and Percentiles for the Pediatric Emotional Distress Scale
2023
Overview
We estimated norms and percentiles for the Pediatric Emotional Distress Scale (PEDS) in order to enhance its utility as a screening tool for emotional and behavioral distress following a major. The PEDS was administered to a nationally representative sample of parents of children ages 5–12 from all 50 states (
N
= 1,570). Approximately 15% of the parents reported a trauma/stress in the past 12 months. Results showed good internal consistency (α = .92) and concurrent validity, with significantly higher scores for the trauma/stress subsample compared to the no trauma/stress subsample. PEDS scores were also significantly higher in younger children (age 5–6) compared to older children (7–12), pointing to the need for separate clinical cut-off scores for younger versus older children. Finally, we examined the factor structure of the PEDS with results supporting a four factor solution in the trauma/stress subsample. For screening purposes, we recommend cut-off scores of 39 (ages 5–6) and 35 (ages 7–12) which correspond to the 90
th
percentile.
