Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Peters Delusions Inventory

    The Peters Delusions Inventory (PDI) is a brief 21-item survey using non-stigmatizing and non-clinical language to obtain ratings of common delusional experiences (e.g. paranoia, grandiosity, ideas of reference) and perceptual aberrations (e.g. experiences of being controlled; thought insertion, withdrawal, and echoing). The PDI also captures conviction, preoccupation, and distress related to the delusions. This scale is scored from 0-21, with higher scores indicating more presence of these delusions.

    Baseline, 4-weeks, 12 months

  • Beck Depression Inventory

    The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item self-report assessment obtaining ratings of one's level of depression on a Likert scale of 0-63, with higher scores indicating more depressive symptoms.

    Baseline, 4-weeks, 12 months

  • Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

    The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a 20-item self-report scale obtaining ratings of one's anxiety, both those that are trait like and ongoing, and those that are state like and temporary. Scores range from 0-120, with higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety symptoms.

    Baseline, 4-weeks, 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale

    Baseline, 4-weeks, 12 months

  • Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire
