The PSI-4-SF is an abbreviated version of the full-length PSI-4.

• Thirty-six items are divided into three domains: Parental Distress (PD), Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction (P-CDI), and Difficult Child (DC), which combine to form a Total Stress scale.
• One simple form contains everything you need for administering the measure and for scoring and profiling results.
• The PSI-4-SF's brevity allows primary health care providers to identify those families most in need of follow-up services. It is also ideal for use in schools, mental health clinics, and research.
• Empirical validity has been established in studies that focused on parenting of Head Start children, medication adherence, and cognitive development of infants.
