Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-17) – Parent Report

The PSC-17 is filled out by a parent or caregiver and asks about a child's behavior and experience across three areas: attention, internalizing symptoms (e.g. sadness, worry), and externalizing symptoms (e.g. rule-breaking, conflict). It's commonly used as a brief first screening tool in pediatric care.
