Pediatric Symptom Checklist
Because parents are often the first to notice
a problem with their child’s behavior, emotions, or learning,
you may help your child get the best care possible by answering
the questions found on the Pediatric Symptom Checklist.
The Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) obtains
parents’ reports of children’s behavioral/ emotional problems. The
PSC is a screening instrument and not a diagnostic tool. The PSC
is designed to alert parents early to difficulties in
functioning that may indicate current or potential psychosocial
problems. In other words, use of the PSC may make it possible for
parents to intervene earlier and thus to prevent some childhood
conditions from becoming more serious disorders. A positive score
on the PSC suggests the need for further evaluation by a qualified
health or mental health professional.
