Abstract

The Screen Dependency Scale (SDS) is a parent report measure which is used to assess preschool children’s dependency towards the screen media. It was developed in the Malaysian community and is in the Malay language. However, the English language is also commonly used in Malaysia, especially in urban settings. Translation of the SDS to English will facilitate the broader recruitment of participants. This study aimed to translate the validated original SDS into an English version.
