Prevalence of overreporting on symptom validity  tests in a large sample of psychosomatic rehabilitation inpatients.

Conclusions: The prevalence of symptom overreporting in some clinical patient groups is a serious, yet underinvestigated problem. The current estimates yielded a high prevalence of distorted, noncredible symptom claims in psychosomatic rehabilitation patients. The challenges arising to health professionals working in such settings are immense and need more consideration. PMID: 31775575 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
