title: Prevalence of behaviour problems among 9- to 12-year-old pupils on the island of St. Helena, South Atlantic: preliminary findings.
abstract: The Rutter Behaviour Questionnaire was used to assess prevalence rates of behaviour problems in 9- to 12-year-old pupils (N = 402) in St. Helena, South Atlantic. The prevalence rate for this enquiry (6.9%) is among the lowest found in the literature for studies using this questionnaire with similarly aged samples.
