PITTSBURGH SIDE-EFFECTS RATING SCALE
Instructions: Listed below are several possible negative effects (side effects) that medication may have on a child. Please read each item carefully and select the appropriate rating that indicates if the severity of the side effect is None, Mild, Moderate, or Severe. Please think about your contact with your child today when rating his/her side effects.
When requested, or wherever you feel it would be useful for us to know, please describe the side effects that you observed or any other unusual behaviors in the Comments section below. The same person should complete this scale each time it is completed. Please use the following in deciding the severity of the side effects your child may be experiencing:
NONE: The symptom is assessed and found absent
MILD: The symptom is present but it is not sufficient to cause concern to the child, his/her peers, or adults, and would not affect a decision to recommend medication.
MODERATE: The symptom causes impairment of functioning or social embarrassment to a degree that the benefits of medication must be considerable to justify the risks of continuing medication.
SEVERE: The symptom causes impairment of functioning or social embarrassment to a degree that the child should not continue to receive the current medication as part of his/her treatment.
