ABSTRACT
Predictors of Brief Symptom Inventory scores were identified for an ethnically diverse group of 60 female psychiatric outpatients, with a modal diagnosis of mood disorder. Ethnicity, as well as other variables, were meaningful predictors on the Somatic, Phobia, and Positive Symptom Total scales. Mexican- and African-Americans scored higher than Euro-Americans on these scales. Implications for using this measure with diverse clients in similar settings are discussed.
