Question:
Tell me about the panic disorder severity scale (PDSS)
Answer:
Brief scale for rating of panic disorder, reliability is excellent as is validity.
Growing experience with the PDSS suggests that it is sensitive to change with
treatment and is useful as a change measure in clinical trials or other outcome
studies for panic disorder, as well as for monitoring panic disorder in clinical
practice.
,Question:
What does the panic disorder severity scale (PDSS) assess?
Answer:
The seven items address frequency of attacks, distress associated with
attacks, anticipatory anxiety, phobic avoidance, and impairment.
Question:
Tell me about the clinician administered PTSD scale (CAPS)
Answer:
Includes 17 items required to make the diagnosis, covering all four criteria: (1)
the event itself, (2) reexperiencing of the event, (3) avoidance, and (4)
increased arousal. The diagnosis requires evidence of a traumatic event, one
symptom of reexperiencing, three of avoidance, and two of arousal. It has
demonstrated reliability and validity in multiple settings and multiple
languages, although it has had more limited testing in the setting of sexual
and criminal assault. It performs well in the research setting for diagnosis and
severity assessment but is generally too long for use in clinical practice.
Question:
Tell me about the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (YBOCS)
Answer:
Measures severity of symptoms in OCD, show good internal consistency,
interrater reliability, and test-retest reliability over a 1-week interval. Validity
appears good. The YBOCS has become the standard instrument for assessing
OCD severity and is used in virtually every drug trial. It may also be used
clinically to monitor treatment response.
,Question:
What does the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale include?
Answer:
10 items rated based on a semistructured interview. The first five items
concern obsessions: the amount of time that they consume, the degree to
which they interfere with normal functioning, the distress that they cause, the
patient's attempts to resist them, and the patient's ability to control them.
The remaining five items ask parallel questions about compulsions.
Question:
Tell me about the Addiction Severity Index (ASI)
Answer:
quantitative measure of symptoms and functional impairment due to alcohol
or drug disorders. It covers demographics, alcohol use, drug use, psychiatric
status, medical status, employment, legal status, and family and social issues.
Frequency, duration, and severity are assessed. It includes both subjective and
objective items reported by the patient and observations made by the
interviewer.
Question:
Tell me about the Eating Disorders Examination (EDE)
Answer:
first interviewer-based comprehensive assessment of eating disorders,
including diagnosis, severity, and an assessment of subthreshold symptoms,
focuses on symptoms in preceding 4 weeks. Reliability and validity are
, excellent. has the sensitivity to change as is required for use in clinical trials or
monitoring of individual therapy
Question:
Tell me about Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R)
Answer:
Categorical and continuous assessment of bulimia, Patients with bulimia
typically score above 110, whereas patients without disordered eating typically
score below 60. Takes 10 minutes. Cutoffs between 98-104 sucessfully screen
for bulimia with high validity and reliability clinical follow-up is particularly
critical because the BULIT-R does not distinguish clearly between different
types of eating disorders.
Question:
Tell me about the Mini Mental States Examination (MMSE)
Answer:
30 point cognitive test to provide a bedside assessment of a broad array of
cognitive functions, excellent reliability and validity
Question:
What is included in the Mini Mental States Examination
Answer:
orientation, attention, memory, construction, and language.
