Anxiety Sensitivity Inventory

Hopkins Symptom Checklist. The Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL) is a scale that has been used to measure the presence and intensity of various symptoms in outpatient neurotic patients. It is a 58-item self-rating scale and has generally been replaced by the Self-Report Symptom Inventory (SCL-90). It measures the symptoms during the past week and requires approximately 20 minutes to complete. There are five subtests somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and anxiety. 

Self-Report Symptom Inventory. Each of the 90 items in the SCL-90 uses a five-point scale of distress. It was designed as a general measure of symptomatology for use by adult psychiatric outpatients in either a research or clinical setting. It rates either the present or previous week. It requires about 15 minutes for the patient to complete this form and about 5 minutes for a technician to verify identifying information. This test is sensitive to drug effects and may be used with inpatients. Nine subscales are measured somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, anger-hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. 

State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Patient-rated 20-item state anxiety (A-state) and 20 items trait anxiety (A- trait) 4-point intensity ratings total scores range from 20-80 A-Trait scale reflects the patient s general or baseline anxiety. A-State scale reflects the patient s most current anxiety and measures changes in anxiety. The A-State score is sensitive to stress-induced testing... 

Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). The SCU-90-R is a 90-item, self-administered, inventory developed by Derogatis in 1977 and is derived from the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (17). The inventory was developed to screen for psychopathology and assesses symptomatic distress in nine primary dimensions and three global indices of distress. The dimensions include somatization, obsessive-compulsive features, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoti-cism. The measure takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete. It has been used widely with community adolescents and adults, inpatients, and outpatients. It has been shown to have good reliability and validity (18).
