expensive for just a few pages that were not helpful at all seems to be just what I needed QuickSCIDis a fully structured diagnostic instrument that employs interview questions adapted from the Structured Clinical Interview for DSMSCID, widely regarded to be the "gold standard" structured psychiatric diagnostic interview since the initial release of SCID in.
The impetus for developing the QuickSCIDwas to create a briefer, time efficient version of the SCID designed to be administered usually inminutes or less.
The shorter administration time results from the fact that QuickSCIDconsists almost entirely of closed ended questions that can be answered "YES" or "NO" by the patient, dispensing with the requirement in the standard SCID that the interviewer elicit descriptive examples and ask enough follow up questions until the interviewer has enough information to determine whether the DSMdiagnostic criteria are met.
Consequently, unlike the standard SCID, which requires the interviewer to have specialized training in diagnostic interviewing, QuickSCID can be administered by any clinician, including those in training.

a visually appealing format and easy to follow skip instructions, QuickSCID has a modular design so that only modules of interest need be administered, Modules include an optional Overview, Module A Mood Episodes and Disorders, Module B Psychotic Symptoms Screen, Module C Alcohol and Other Substance Use Disorders, Module D Anxiety Disorders, Module E Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Module F Adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Module G Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Module H Eating Disorders, Module I Screening for Other Disorders, and Module J Rule Out Mental Disorders Due to a Medical Condition and Substance/Medication induced Mental Disorders.

These diagnoses are not included in QuickSCID, Although the absence of a requirement for the interviewer to elicit descriptive examples may lead to false positives than the standard SCID, the savings in administration time and its allowance for it to be administered by less trained interviewers can constitute a reasonable trade off depending on the setting e.
