contents <p>Background: Parent–child agreement regarding emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents with obesity was measured. Methods: One hundred Italian adolescents with obesity (36 males, 64 females, mean age ± SD: 15.3 ± 1.61 years, mean body mass index, BMI: 37.9 ± 5.48 kg/m2), hospitalized for a 3-week multidisciplinary body weight reduction program at Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Piancavallo-Verbania, Italy, and one of their parents (n = 100, 40 fathers, 60 mothers) participated in the study. Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) for parents and the Youth Self Report (YSR) for teens were administered. Results: Most of the CBCL and YSR scores were normal, with more borderline and clinical scores being found in CBCL (29% of borderline scores in attention problems, 28% in affective problems, and 26% in ADHD; 32% of clinical scores in affective problems, 23% in withdrawn/depressed, and 22% in anxiety problems and somatic complains subscales) than in YSR (19% of borderline scores in affective behaviors and 17% in somatic complains; 15% of clinical scores in anxiety problems and 17% in withdrawn/depressed subscale). Young females reported greater anxiety problems (p = 0.009), oppositional defiant problems (p = 0.029), anxiety/depressed (p = 0.030), and internalizing problems (p = 0.045) than males. Pearson’s coefficients ranged between 0.273 to  0 .517. Conclusions: This study provides information on the cross-informant evaluation of psychological profiles with CBCL and YSR in a clinical sample of adolescents with obesity and their parents.</p> <p>These data cannot be made publicly available as including sensitive information, but can be made available upon reasonable request of interested researchers to the corresponding author that will forward a data transfer agreement request to the relevant Ethical Committee. Requests can be addressed to dr. Anna Guerrini Usubini (u.guerrini@auxologico.it).</p>
