British community norms (N = 376) for the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis & Spencer, 1982) are presented. Means are significantly higher than previously published US norms for all symptom dimensions, and show variability according to age, sex and work status. The proportion of 'cases' in the sample is similar to other British estimates. It is recommended that culturally relevant norms should be established and used in future work with this instrument.
本文呈现了英国社区（N = 376）使用简明症状量表（Derogatis & Spencer，1982）的常模。所有症状维度的均值显著高于此前公布的美国常模，且根据年龄、性别和工作状态呈现出变异性。样本中“病例”的比例与英国其他评估结果相似。建议在今后使用该工具的工作中建立并采用与文化相关的常模。
