| Abstract |
Screening methods for detecting Ultra High Risk status (UHR) or psychosis should be improved, especially in adolescent samples. We therefore tested whether the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Youth Self Report (YSR) add value to the Prodromal Questionnaire-16 items version (PQ-16) for detecting UHR status or psychosis. We included help-seeking adolescents who had completed the PQ-16, YSR, CBCL, and a Comprehensive Assessment of an At Risk Mental States (CAARMS) interview, and used independent samples t-tests and binary logistic regression analyses to determine the scales contributing to the prediction of UHR status or of having reached the psychosis threshold (PT). Cutoff scores were determined using ROC analyses. Our sample comprised 270 help-seeking adolescents (mean age 14.67; SD 1.56, range 12-17); 67.8% were girls and 66.3% were of Dutch origin. The Thought Problems syndrome scales of both the YSR and the CBCL best predicted UHR or PT, and had screening values comparable to the PQ-16. Other syndrome scales did not improve screening values. Although combining measures reduced the number of false negatives, it also increased the number of adolescents to be interviewed. The best choice was to combine the YSR Thought Problems scale and the PQ-16 as a first-step screener. Combining measures improves the detection of UHR or PT in help-seeking adolescents. The Thought Problems subscales of the YSR and CBCL can both be used as a first-step screener in the detection of UHR and/or psychosis. Trial registration Permission was asked according to the rules of the Ethics Committee at Leiden. This study is registered as NL.44180.058.13. |
