Abstract
A survey was made of 1,114 mentally retarded children seen at a community mental retardation evaluation clinic between January, 1970 and April, 1977 to determine the prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems. 25% of the surveyed population showed such problems. Prevalence was related to level of intelligence and age, but not to sex or economic status.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
