As you have learned from several of your readings, diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the use of standardized assessment instruments.Each week, you will be tasked with identifying a standardized assessment instrument to measure at least one of the disorders you will read about. You identify an instrument and:Identify a scholarly, peer reviewed article that addresses the use of the instrument.Discuss if the instrument is appropriate for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess, or if the instruments developers report that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the condition.Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment.Discuss the psychometrics of the instrument including reliability and validity.Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument.For week three, you will identify at least two (2) assessment instruments-that can be used in the assessment/diagnosis of an anxiety or related disorder.Criteria Ratings PtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeInstruments Assessed Using Scholarly Sources1 ptsAccomplishedIdentified scholarly/peer-reviewed articles for each instrument per assignment instructions.0.5 ptsProficientInformation obtained from a mixture of scholarly and non-scholarly/peer-reviewed sources.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementInformation obtained from non-scholarly/peer-reviewed sources.1 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeAssignment Content4 to >3.0 ptsAccomplishedall attributes of all instruments required for this assignment: 1- Is it designed to diagnose the condition, or is it to be used as part of thediagnostic process 2- Is the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment. 3- Psychometrics of the instrument, including reliability and validity. 4- Limitations associated with the use of the instrument3 to >1.0 ptsProficientDiscusses several attributes with one point being lost for each element omitted: OMITTED: 1- Is it designed to diagnose the condition, or is it to be used as part of the diagnostic process (minus 1 point) OMITTED: 2- Is the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment (minus 1 point) OMITTED: 3- Psychometrics of the instrument including reliability and validity (minus 1 point) OMITTED: 4- Limitations associated with the use of the instrument (minus 1 point)1 to >0 ptsNeeds ImprovementNone of the required attributes of the instruments have been discussed, or not all instrument(s) assigned were submitted (e.g., only submitted 2 out of 3 required assessment instruments, or 1 out of 2 required assessment instruments)4 pts
