Psychiatric Symptom Screening Tool

The SCL-90-R is a 90-item self-report questionnaire that measures psychiatric symptomatology across nine domains, including somatization, depression, and anxiety. It takes about 15 minutes to complete and provides subscale scores to quantify emotional distress. Studies have found moderate to high correlations between SCL-90-R domains and other measures of emotional distress. The SCL-90-R has shown good internal consistency and reliability in measuring symptoms following spinal cord injury.
