For whom is the Panic Disorder Self-Report intended?
This self-report questionnaire is suitable for adults.
What does the PDSR measure?
The Panic Disorder Self-Report (PDSR) has been developed to diagnose or exclude diagnoses of panic disorders. Due to its shortness, this measure is usually seen as not very intrusive and is accepted quite well.
What does the PDSR questionnaire consist of?
The PDSR contains 24 items, most of which are answered in a simple Yes/No fashion. Nevertheless, there are also some questions, for example about severity, which are answered on 5-point Likert scales. Not all of the questions have to be answered by every patient. If a panic disorder can already be excluded, the questionnaire stops.
How does the PDSR scoring work?
The psychometric properties of the PDSR have been investigated for example in Newman et al. (2006; see literature). The questionnaire has been found valid and reliable. Additionally, a cut-off score for 95% sensitivity and specificity has been established.
