The Stockton Geriatric Rating Scale: a shortened version with British normative data

C J Gilleard et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

This paper presents information on a shortened form of the Stockton Geriatric Rating Scale, which is shown to be as effective as the original version in discriminating among the elderly. The results for 400 people in the care of hospital or social services provide provisional normative data for the use of the scale, which should be of value in assessing the behavioural competence of the elderly on an individual and group basis.
