TI  - Development of a scale for the measurement of symptom change in an outpatient 
      clinic.
PG  - 134-9
AB  - A brief 21-item symptom rating scale, the Psychiatric Outpatient Rating Scale 
      (PORS), was developed for use in outpatient clinics. On the basis of its initial 
      use with 86 patients, it was shown to have high internal and interjudge 
      reliability and evidence of concurrent and construct validity. Scores on the PORS 
      correlated significantly with the Global Assessment Scale and with the number of 
      sessions of psychotherapy. For a subsample of 45 patients rated on the PORS at 
      the beginning and termination of psychotherapy, seven symptoms revealed highly 
      significant improvement. The PORS appears to be a potentially useful measure of 
      change in outpatient clinics.
