Using the SCIP in research
The SCIP generates reliable numeric data for 201 psychopathological items covering anxiety, mood, psychosis, alcohol and drug use, attention deficit, hyperactivity and eating disorders. For example, in an eating disorders clinic, researchers could use the 28 items measuring symptoms of eating disorders and the 3 dimensions of anorexia, binge-eating and bulimia. In a thought disorders clinic, researchers could use the 18 items measuring the core schizophrenia symptoms and the 4 dimensions representing hallucinations, delusions, disorganization and negative symptoms. The SCIP is an ideal research tool for clinical trials, clinical research and epidemiological studies.
