Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n3 p294-301 Jul 1997

Examined an instrument widely used for both clinical and research purposes, to assess its accuracy with college students. Compared scores of 209 undergraduates using a university-based clinic with those of 435 nonpatient students and with adults and adolescents. When compared with norms based on unscreened community samples, nonpatient undergraduates were more symptomatic than adults. (RJM)
