“…ROCC analyses suggested lower cutoff scores than those currently suggested with the PSC-17 total score (i.e., 15). It was noted that an overall cutoff score of 12 was identified in other PSC-17 studies for older children in primary care settings (Erdogan & Ozturk, 2011; Stoppelbein, Greening, Moll, Jordan, & Suozzi, 2012). The results appear reasonable as young children’s observed behaviors may differ from older children in the original sample of the measure, and age differences should be considered in future cutoff score validation.…”

“…While the PSC-17 had been previously validated and successfully used in primary care settings with parent raters (e.g., Blucker et al, 2014; Chaffin et al, 2017; Erdogan & Ozturk, 2011; Gardner, Lucas, Kolko, & Campo, 2007; Murphy et al, 2016), additional research is needed to examine the psychometric properties of a measure before extending the use of the scale (AERA, APA, & NCME, 2014, Standard 1.4) to school-based settings. Until now, only one study has been conducted to examine the content validity and validate the factor structure of the PSC-17 for preschool children with teacher ratings (DiStefano et al, 2017).…”

In the Response to Intervention framework, a psychometrically sound screening tool is essential for identification of children with emotional and behavioral risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist–17 (PSC-17) screener in school-based settings. Forty-four teachers rated 738 preschoolers using the PSC-17; children were later assessed using long forms of the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-2) Preschool form or the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Caregiver–Teacher Report Form to identify emotional and behavioral disorder. Validity evidence including examinations of a multilevel factor structure, internal consistency, and criterion-related validity supported the conclusion that the PSC-17 is a high-quality universal screening tool in school-based settings. Finally, to identify emotional and behavioral risk with young children, receiver operating characteristic curve analyses with the PSC-17 yielded a lower cutoff score (i.e., 7) than the original cutoff score (i.e., 15) based on a clinical sample.

“…Among low-income children in Turkey, a positive rate of nearly 40% was recorded using the PSC-17. 25 Among Brazilian schoolchildren, the PSC-positive rate was 14%. 18 In the United States, a study of some 21,000 children found a PSC-positive rate of 13% among school-age children 20 ; a previous study among low-income US children documented a positive rate of 22%.…”

ABSTRACT:Objectives:Childhood behavior problems are underidentified in low- and middle-income countries. This study sought to systematically screen for behavior problems among children receiving medical care in Rwanda and investigate factors associated with behavior problems in this cohort.Methods:The Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC) was translated into Kinyarwanda, following best practices. Children aged 5.9 to 16 years admitted to the inpatient ward of a referral hospital or seen in the outpatient department (OPD) were screened using the PSC. All PSC-positive children and every third PSC-negative child were referred for definitive assessment by a child mental health specialist.Results:Among 300 eligible children, 235 were recruited; none refused. PSC scores were positive in 74 of 234 cases (32%, 95% confidence interval 26%–38%); a total of 28 of 74 (40%) PSC-positive children completed mental health assessments. Of these, 16 (57% of those assessed, and 7% of the 235 who were screened) required treatment or further assessment; none of the PSC-negative children did. Screening sensitivity was 100%, and specificity was 71%, with favorable receiver operating characteristics curve and internal consistency. In a multivariate analysis, higher PSC scores were associated with OPD care, central nervous system trauma or infection, and indices of malnutrition and with the use of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TCAM).Conclusion:Behavior problems are common among Rwanda children seen in a referral hospital, particularly in the OPD, and are associated with use of TCAM. The Kinyarwanda PSC showed favorable screening characteristics and resulted in some 7% of children accessing needed mental health care.
