Several tools not included in the table have been developed to assist clinicians in taking a complete and organized psychosocial and/or mental health history. You may view the full list of tools, or search by measure name, age group and/or condition.Īll tools have been validated unless otherwise stated. Some of the tools and scales are also designed to monitor certain conditions. The tool(s) you choose will depend on your clinical setting, your practice support, and the nature of your patients. whether the tool allows co-morbidities to be identified.However, we recommend that the original criteria be modified to improve the sensitivity.Each instrument was rated on a series of criteria including: These findings demonstrated the adequate validity and reliability of the K-MDQ, suggesting that this instrument is useful for screening bipolar disorders in Korea. 001), and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.77 (P <. The Pearson correlation coefficient for the total test-retest score was 0.63 (P <. A total K-MDQ score of at least 7 was chosen as the optimal cutoff, with the 2 parts of the questionnaire on symptoms clustering and functional problems being excluded, since this provided good sensitivity (0.75) and specificity (0.69). The mean total score was higher in patients (8.48) than in controls (4.51) (P <. Factor analysis revealed 3 factors that explained 59.5% of the total variance. The correlations between each item and the total score ranged from 0.43 to 0.76 and were all statistically significant (P <. The internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) of the K-MDQ was.
The long-term test-retest reliability with a 10-month interval was investigated in 30 bipolar outpatients. The K-MDQ was applied to 126 outpatients with bipolar disorder clinically diagnosed by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition and 112 controls without a psychiatric history.
This study translated the MDQ into Korean to produce the K-MDQ. This study aimed to elucidate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (K-MDQ), which is a screening instrument developed for bipolar disorders.
