This study followed up on 201 pediatricians and family practitioners who had requested information about the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC), a parent-completed questionnaire which screens for psychosocial dysfunction in school-aged children. The physicians were sent a postcard survey asking whether they had used the PSC in their practices. Of the 157 (78%) who responded to the postcard survey, 36 (23%) reported that they had used the PSC. On a follow-up questionnaire, all of these physicians rated the PSC as useful, and nearly 80% reported that it led to increased case-finding and/or referrals. Ninety-six percent stated that they will continue to use the PSC; more than half of them routinely or frequently. The findings indicate a widespread interest in psychosocial screening, and suggest that additional educational efforts may be necessary to support the acceptance of the PSC in pediatric practice. |
