The Symptom Check-List-90 (SCL-90) is a widely used psychiatric questionnaire which has not yet been validated in Finland. We investigated the utility of the translated version of the SCL-90 in the Finnish population, and set community norms for it. The internal consistency of the original subscales was checked and found to be good. Discriminant function analysis, based on the nine original subscales, showed that the power of the SCL-90 to discriminate between patients and the community is good. Factor analysis of the items of the questionnaire yielded a very strong unrotated first factor, suggesting that a general factor may be present. This together with the fact that high intercorrelations were found between the nine original subscales suggests that the instrument is not multidimensional. The SCL-90 may be useful in a research setting as an instrument for measuring the change in symptomatic distress, or as a screening instrument. The American community norms should be used with caution, as the Finnish community sample scored consistently higher on all subscales.
症状自评量表90（SCL - 90）是一种广泛使用的精神科调查问卷，在芬兰尚未得到验证。我们调查了SCL - 90翻译版本在芬兰人群中的效用，并为其设定了社区常模。对原始分量表的内部一致性进行了检查，发现情况良好。基于九个原始分量表的判别函数分析表明，SCL - 90区分患者和社区人群的能力良好。对问卷项目进行因子分析产生了一个非常强的未旋转第一因子，表明可能存在一个一般因子。再加上九个原始分量表之间发现高度的相互关联这一事实，表明该工具并非多维的。SCL - 90在研究环境中作为测量症状困扰变化的工具或作为筛查工具可能会有用。由于芬兰社区样本在所有分量表上的得分始终较高，因此应谨慎使用美国社区常模。
