The PSC-17 is designed to help primary care providers assess the likelihood of mental health disorders in children.
Responses are scored based on frequency: 'Never' = 0, 'Sometimes' = 1, and 'Often' = 2, with totals calculated for internalizing, attention, and externalizing behaviors.
Suggested cutoff scores indicate potential concerns: Internalizing score ≥ 5, Attention score ≥ 7, Externalizing score ≥ 7, and Total Score ≥ 15.
The PSC-17 has been shown to perform reasonably well compared to longer instruments like the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in assessing mental health.
The sensitivity of the PSC-17 ranges from 31% to 73%, indicating it is not a foolproof diagnostic tool but can be useful in screening.
The PSC-17 may be freely reproduced for use in various settings, promoting accessibility for caregivers and healthcare providers.
Created by W Gardner and K Kelleher in 1999, the PSC-17 is based on earlier work by M Jellinek et al. from 1988.
