Background: The short form, 17-item version of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-Youth Self-Report (PSC-17-Y) is a validated
measure that assesses psychosocial problems overall (OVR) and in 3 major psychopathological domains (internalizing, externalizing,
and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), taking 5-10 min to complete. Prior research has established sound psychometric
properties of the PSC-17-Y for English speakers.
Objective: This study extends psychometric evidence for the acceptability of the PSC-17-Y in a large sample of Spanish
adolescents, providing proof of its reliability and structure, convergent and discriminant validity, and longitudinal and gender
invariance.
Methods: Data were collected on 5430 adolescents, aged 12-18 years, who filled out the PSC-17-Y twice during 2018-2019
(7-month interval). We calculated the Cronbach alpha and the McDonald omega coefficients to test reliability, the Pearson
correlation for convergent (distress) and criterion validity (well-being, quality of life, and socioemotional skills), confirmatory
factor analysis (CFA) for structure validity, and multigroup and longitudinal measurement invariance analysis for longitudinal
and gender stability.
Results: Within structural analysis for the PSC-17-Y, CFA supported a correlated 3-factor solution, which was also invariant
longitudinally and across gender. All 3 subscales showed evidence of reliability, with coefficients near or above .70. Moreover,
scores of PSC-17-Y subscales were positively related with convergent measures and negatively related with criterion measures.
Normative data for the PSC-17-Y are presented in the form of percentiles (75th and 90th).
Conclusions: This work provides the first evidence of the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the PSC-17-Y
administered over the internet to assess mental health problems among adolescents, maintaining the same domains as the long
version. [-]
