Data for General Physical Health. The HSC is a comprehensive list of 34 frequently reported health and mental health symptoms originally adapted from Bartone et al., (1989). It asks how often in the past 30 days each of the health symptoms was experienced. Symptoms from nine body systems are assessed (cardiac, pulmonary, dermatological, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, neurological, and psychological).
