Validation of the NetSCID: an automated web-based adaptive version of the SCID

Abstract

The present study developed and validated a configurable, adaptive, web-based version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM, the NetSCID. The validation included 24 clinicians who administered the SCID and 230 participants who completed the paper SCID and/or the NetSCID. Data-entry errors, branching errors, and clinician satisfaction were quantified. Relative to the paper SCID, the NetSCID resulted in far fewer data-entry and branching errors. Clinicians ‘preferred’ using the NetSCID and found that the NetSCID was easier to administer.

Validation of the distress tolerance scale‐short form in obsessive compulsive disorder

“…The SCID (First et al, 2007) is a structured clinical interview designed to assist in determining the presence of Axis I disorders based on the DSM-IV-TR. The NetSCID is a validated, web-based version of the SCID that was found to be comparable to the paper SCID (Brodey et al, 2016). The NetSCID was administered to all participants upon admission to the program to confirm a primary diagnosis of OCD.…”

How willing are you? Willingness as a predictor of change during treatment of adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder

“…The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders (SCID-IV; First, Spitzer, Gibbon, & Williams, 2002) is a structured clinical interview that assess for the presence of Axis I disorders based on the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. The NetSCID (Brodey et al, 2016) is a validated, web-based version of the SCID-IV and was used in this study.…”

Assessing the Equivalence of Paper, Mobile Phone, and Tablet Survey Responses at a Community Mental Health Center Using Equivalent Halves of a ‘Gold-Standard’ Depression Item Bank

“…As Internet and electronic survey administration technologies have shown many advantages and benefits relative to paper forms, computerized administrations of diagnostic and outcome measures have grown in popularity [ 1 ]. Recent studies have shown that participants often prefer the electronic version of an assessment to traditional paper surveys [ 2 , 3 ].…”

“…Recent studies have shown that participants often prefer the electronic version of an assessment to traditional paper surveys [ 2 , 3 ]. Additionally, electronic data entry has been shown to minimize errors that occur during traditional paper data collection [ 1 , 4 ]. In many situations, however, patients and research participants alternate between paper and electronic data collection (EDC) mediums as needed, such as when certain parts of a facility differ in regards to wireless connectivity, or when it is unknown what device an end-user may use to complete a survey sent as a link in an email.…”
