概要目前的状态检查（PSE）进行了讨论，就其使用的调查对象谁不是精神病患者。虽然PSE最初是为精神科医生治疗明显患有精神疾病的患者而开发的，但访谈中也包含了相当详细的章节，涉及在相当大比例的“正常受试者”中发现的较常见和较不严重的投诉和症状。PSE（第8版）的简化版本，仅限于这些部分，已被用于人口调查，由非精神科医生的采访者描述。这种采访者的培训，并介绍了可靠性和可重复性研究的信息。这表明，通过适当的培训，非精神科访谈者可以达到与以前报道的精神科医生之间的评分者间可靠性标准。
Synopsis The Present State Examination (PSE) is discussed with regard to its use in surveys of subjects who are not psychiatric patients. Although the PSE was originally developed for use by psychiatrists with patients with obvious mental illness, the interview also contains sections dealing in considerable detail with the commoner and less severe complaints and symptoms that are found in a significant proportion of ‘normal subjects’. A shortened version of the PSE (8th edition) is described, limited to these sections, which has been used in population surveys, by interviewers who are not psychiatrists. The training of such interviewers is described, and information on a reliability and repeatability study is presented. This shows that with proper training, non-psychiatric interviewers can achieve standards of inter-rater reliability that are comparable to those previously reported between psychiatrists.
