title: Behavior profile of children with severe breath-holding spells.
abstract: Thirty-two children with severe breath-holding spells and 42 control children were studied by using the Child Behavior Checklist. No single behavioral profile could identify children with breath-holding spells, and there were no group differences with respect to individual behavior categories, broad-band profiles, or total scores. No correlation was found between frequency of breath-holding spells and profile scores.
