Method evidence record

Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool

The Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST) is a brief, 19-item self-report questionnaire designed to screen for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and assess the severity of premenstrual symptoms. Developed by Steiner, Macdougall, and Brown in 2003, the PSST efficiently identifies women with clinically significant cyclical mood and physical symptoms warranting diagnostic evaluation and potential pharmacological or psychological treatment.
