RE: foster care & SCL-90

["Hullin, Leigh" <Leigh.Hullin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Rick,
the SCL-90R manual provides information in relation to T-score values for
clinical cut-off scores.  I also suggest you read the manual and/or related
literature about interpretation of the scales. I would NOT consider clinical
range scores for depression or anxiety on the SCl-90R to be a diagnosis for
same but would rather refer to DSM-IV for diagnosis.
regards,
Leigh Hullin

Subject: foster care & SCL-90


This is my first time posting.  I hope this question is appropriate.  I am 
studying issues related to foster care parents.  The agency has collected 
SCL-90 information on all parents.  I want to describe these parents in 
terms of anxiety, depression, and hostility.  Are there cutoff scores for 
this population?  How can I identify the parents who are anxious, 
depression, and hostile?
