Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale

  The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale is a 30-item scale with seven positive and seven negative symptoms items and 16 psychopathological items. The severity of each item is rated on a scale from 1 (none) to 7 (most severe). A general Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score is between 30 (lack of symptoms) and 210 (very severe state of the disease). Potential ranges are 7 to 49 for the positive and negative symptom scales and from 16 to 12 for the general psychopathology scale.
