各种各样的工具已被用于尝试操作DSM-IV经前焦虑障碍（PMDD）的标准，并了解临床上重要的经前综合征（PMS）。本研究的目标是设计一种简单且用户友好的筛查工具，以识别患有严重经前综合症/经前抑郁症的女性以及可能从治疗中受益的女性。519名年龄在18岁至55岁之间的妇女在初级保健机构完成了“经前症状筛查工具”（PSST）。PSST反映并将DSM-IV分类标准“转换”为具有严重程度的评级量表。结果与最近几项大型前瞻性研究报告的患病率一致。我们认为，PSST应用了必要程度的措施的严重程度和经前症状的影响，建立快速，如果妇女有资格PMDD，是耗时更少，更实用的比两个周期的前瞻性图表。这个快速简单的工具是一个有效的筛选工具，也是进一步评估的重要起点。
A variety of instruments have been used in an attempt to operationalize DSM-IV criteria for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and to understand clinically significant premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The objectives of this research were to devise a simple user friendly screening tool to identify women who suffer from severe PMS/PMDD and who are likely to benefit from treatment. Five hundred and nineteen women, between the ages of 18 and 55 yrs, who were seen at a primary care facility completed "The Premenstrual Symptoms Screening tool" (PSST). The PSST reflects and 'translates' categorical DSM-IV criteria into a rating scale with degrees of severity. The results are in line with reported prevalence rates from several recent large prospective studies. We believe that the PSST applies a necessary degree of measure of severity and impact of premenstrual symptoms, establishes quickly if women qualify for PMDD, and is less time consuming and more practical than two cycles of prospective charting. This fast simple tool is an effective screening tool and an important starting point for further assessment.
