PRIME-5 – This is a clinician administered screening measure and is not a diagnostic tool. Positive findings should initiate a further diagnostic assessment, such as with the mini-SIPS
PQ-B – This is a self-report screening measure and is not a diagnostic tool. Positive findings should initiate a further diagnostic assessment, such as with the mini-SIPS
Clinical diagnostic tool for DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome
