Texte descriptif

Serious Psychological Distress (SPD) is a non-specific measure of psychological distress that has been psychometrically validated and able to discriminate DSM-IV diagnostic cases from non-cases. SPD is determined using Kessler's scale of 6 questions (K1-K6). Each question asks about the frequency of symptoms, using one of five categories on a 0 to 4 scale. Responses to the six questions are then summed, resulting in scores ranging from 0-24. A K6 score of 13 or greater signifies SPD. The universe for this variable includes all adult respondents age 18 and older.
