Abstract
Comparison was made of symptom and behavior scores obtained by structured interview versus self-report using the Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale. Psychiatric hospital admissions were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 assessment groups, structured interview, self-report, or choice of procedure. Analysis indicated that patients in the self-report group reported significantly greater difficulty on 1 of 5 dimensions assessed by the scale. The results suggest that a self-report questionnaire form of the measure is a viable alternative to the structured interview.Entities:
