| Annotation | A standardised social interview is assessed, comprising items grouped under the following three headings: material conditions; social management; and satisfaction. Ratings are made on a 4-point scale by interviewers standardised in its use. The interview, which takes some 45 minutes to administer, covers housing, finance, occupation, social and leisure activities, and relationships with significant individuals in the subject's life. The inter-rater reliability of this social maladjustment schedule is assessed and principal component analysis performed; the results of these are provided and discussed. Various methods of scoring are examined and the use of the schedule in a number of studies in the setting of general practice is described. (RH). |
