The Juvenile
Bipolar Research Foundation is pleased to offer parents and
treating physicians a concise screening inventory developed by
JBRF director of research, Demitri Papolos, M.D.
The CBQ is a reliable and sensitive indicator used in current
JBRF-sponsored studies. However, only an experienced
diagnostician with a full understanding of the child’s family
history, as well as the symptoms and behaviors that the child
exhibits, is qualified to make a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
It is the intention of JBRF to provide this screening instrument
as an organizational aid in the assessment process. The
checklist completed by a parent should be submitted to the
professional diagnosing his or her child. A Spanish version is
also available.
In addition to the CBQ, information on the development and
scoring of the CBQ, as well as, Research Diagnostic Criteria for
the Core Phenotype, developed from JBRF-sponsored clinical
studies, are available in PDF form.
