The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) as a psychosocial screening instrument. Using the PSC, the researchers screened 212 patients, ages 6-12 years, at a military outpatient pediatric clinic. Twenty-one children with scores in the "high-risk" range were randomly selected and matched with children scoring in the normal, "not-high-risk" range. Two trained interviewers, blind to individual PSC scores, independently interviewed and rated each subject's level of psychosocial functioning on the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS). The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a standardized psychosocial measure, was also completed by each subject's mother. PSC scores were compared to the CGAS and CBCL scores in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Additional analyses compared data from the study sample with that of previous studies. Results suggest that the PSC is a valid pediatric psychosocial screening instrument for multiethnic patient populations.
本研究的目的是评估儿童症状清单（PSC）作为一种社会心理筛查工具的有效性。研究人员使用PSC对一家军事门诊儿科诊所的212名6至12岁的患者进行了筛查。随机选择了21名得分处于“高风险”范围的儿童，并与得分处于正常“非高风险”范围的儿童进行匹配。两名经过培训的访谈者对个体PSC得分不知情，他们独立对每个受试者的社会心理功能水平进行访谈，并根据儿童总体评估量表（CGAS）进行评分。每个受试者的母亲还完成了标准化的社会心理测量工具儿童行为清单（CBCL）。从敏感性和特异性方面将PSC得分与CGAS和CBCL得分进行了比较。额外的分析将研究样本的数据与之前研究的数据进行了比较。结果表明，PSC是一种适用于多种族患者群体的有效的儿科社会心理筛查工具。
