Abstract: Standardized instruments are often used to assess the need for mental health services in a community. Such instruments are usually standardized on Caucasian samples and are generally assumed to be appropriate for different ethnocultural minorities. However, this assumption may be in error because cultural groups vary in their expression, manifestation, and reporting of symptoms. This article analyzes the responses to a standardized instrument, the Symptom Checklist (SCL), for four ethnic groups in Hawai'i: Cau… Show more

“…Higher scores signified greater distress symptoms. Versions of the SCL-90-R have also been used cross-culturally in studies involving minority and immigrant samples, both internationally and in the United States (Aroian, Patsdaughter, Levin, & Gianan, 1995;Asner-Self, Schreiber, & Marotta, 2006;Bech et al, 1992;Takeuchi, Kuo, Kim, Leen, & Leaf, 1989;Zheng, Xu, & Shen, 1986).…”

“…These self-report and interviewer rating scales are based on symptom criteria that is geared to Western culture patients. As a result, use with non-Western cultures patients can result in faulty diagnoses because they do not sample culturally relevant symptoms and idioms of distress (e.g., Bertschy, Viel, & Ahyi, 1992;Ebert & Martus, 1994;Ebigno, 1982;Fugita & Crittenden, 1990;Griffith & Baker, 1993;Hamdi, Amin, & Abou-Saleh, 1997;Takeuchi, Kuo, Kim, & Leaf, 1989;Thornicroft & Sartorius, 1993;Zheng & Lin, 1991). These problems are associated with linguistic, conceptual, scale, and normative equivalence (e.g., Marsella, Dubanoski, Hamada, & Morse, 2000).…”
