Variations in Content[edit]

This family of measures has versions for different age groups, and different informants.

There also are several research versions with supplemental item sets.

When talking about research and versions, it would be helpful to be explicit about the version and item content.

For example, the DSM-IV version stopped with item set P.

Gaye Carlson and some other researchers developed a supplemental item set, "Category Q," which contained additional items thought to be related to ADHD. This variant was used in research at Stonybrook. It also was included in at least three NIH funded projects: Course and Outcome of Bipolar Youth (NIH R01Xxxx), Longitudinal Assessment of Manic Symptoms (LAMS), and the longitudinal waves of ABACAB.

However, the DSM-IVR revision of the CSI distributed by Checkmate Plus includes a Category Q that included a different set of items, more focused on irritability and aggressive behavior.

It would be smart to get a copy of the DSM-5 versions to check. Prof. Eric A. Youngstrom (talk) 22:38, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
