Abstract

Objective

The Mini-SIPS, a condensed version of the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes (SIPS), is intended to efficiently identify for clinicians the minimum information needed to support a DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) diagnosis.

Methods

The instrument and the DSM-5 criteria are accessible through the online training program.

Results

Most individuals (67.5%) in the first 212 to complete the training program indicated an intended use of the Mini-SIPS exclusively for clinical purposes. Performance on the post-training quiz was excellent for those with and without prior training in structured diagnostic interviewing.

Conclusion

The Mini-SIPS, and accompanying training program, are offered as public-domain clinical resources to the mental health community.
