Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI)

The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) assesses the presence of several psychiatric symptoms. It consists of 53 items covering nine symptom dimensions: Somatization, Obsession-Compulsion, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation and Psychoticism; and three global indices of distress: Global Severity Index, Positive Symptom Distress Index, and Positive Symptom Total. The global indices measure current or past level of symptomatology, intensity of symptoms, and number of reported symptoms, respectively.

Within L-CID, 21 items were used to measure Interpersonal sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, and Hostility.
