HSCL

Description

The Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL) originated from the Cornell Medical Index (Wider 1948), and was further expanded by investigators at Johns Hopkins University in the 1950s (Frank et al. 1957; Parloff et al. 1954). It was developed initially to measure common psychoneurotic complaints of outpatients (Lipman et al. 1965). There are several versions of this instrument in which items range from a count of 25 to 90 and differ in the constructs measured (e.g. HSCL-25, HSCL-35, and SCL-90) (Derogatis et al. 1974; Derrogatis et al. 1973; Hesbacher et al. 1980). Shorter versions of the instrument also exist (HSCL-10 and HSCL-5); they perform almost as well as HSCL-25 for adolescents (Strand et al. 2003). The 90-item checklist includes measures of psychotic and paranoid symptoms, in addition to anxiety and depression symptoms (Derogatis et al. 1974). On the other hand, the 25-item version focuses more on the presence and intensity of depression and anxiety symptoms (e.g., fear, dizziness, self-blame) (Hesbacher et al. 1980; Nettelbladt et al. 1993).
