The Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) is a brief parent-report questionnaire that is used to assess overall psychosocial functioning in children from 3 to 18 years of age. Originally developed to be a screen that would allow pediatricians and other health professionals to identify children with poor overall functioning who were in need of further evaluation or referral, the PSC has seen such wide use in large systems that it has increasingly been used as a quality indicator and as an outcome measure to assess changes in functioning over time.
This measure is based on data from MDS 3.0 assessments of nursing home residents. Either a resident interview measure or a staff assessment measure will be reported. The preferred version is the resident interview measure. The resident interview measure will be used unless either there are three or more missing sub-items needed for calculation or the resident is rarely or never understood, in which cases the staff assessment measure will be calculated and used. These measures use those questions in MDS 3.0 that comprise the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) depression instrument.
