Scale: Reporting Questionnaire for Children (RQC) is a 10-item instrument administered verbally to the caregivers of children. It has been shown to identify moderate to severe mental retardation, significant degrees of emotional or behavioral disorder, which adversely affect schooling or socialization, and psychotic disorders among children. The instrument is scored by placing an X in any of the two response options and is scored in a simple manner, assigning one (1) point for each positive response. The presence of only an affirmative answer is indicative of the presence of a mental health problem. A single positive item was considered an appropriate cut-off for screening cases and perhaps for pointing towards a particular disorder. The RQC has 88% sensitivity in identifying cases diagnosed by a psychiatrist using a diagnostic interview according to the DSM-IV

A total symptom severity score (range - 0-80) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 20 items. A PCL-5 cut-point score is 33. The test is designed in such a way that if an item is answered, it is scored "0" and the next question is followed. Now, if he answers affirmatively, the questions that follow the item are formulated to know the frequency. Sometimes scored with "1" and sometimes with "2", the total score is 60, a fact that reflects the frequency of the symptoms
