Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Psychiatric Symptoms
Assessed with the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS). The PSYRATS inquires about the specific dimensions of hallucinations and delusions. There are 17 items and each item is rated from 0 (absent) to 4 (severe). The PSYRATS has 2 subscales: the auditory hallucinations subscale (AHS) consisting of 11 items, and the delusions subscale (DS) consisting of 6 items. These subscale scores are added to create a total score ranging from 0-68. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.
Change from baseline to 3 months and 6 months
Psychiatric Symptoms
Assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The Beck Depression Inventory is a psychometric test for measuring the severity of depression. There are 21 items, each rated from 0-3, and total scores range from 0-63. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.
