*Modified and used with the permission of the authors. Selected modules were modified to examine disorders that
have occurred during the past 5 years, and to give instructions specific to the CAMP project. The modules used
include: Module A (Mood Episodes, modified to include the sections that cover Major Depressive, Manic, and
Hypomanic Episodes, and Mood Disorder Due to a General Medical Condition or Substance Use), and Module B-
E,. The E module was modified to have Substance Dependence Disorders screened first, followed by Substance
Abuse Disorders. The B module was modified by the addition of 3 optional questions to item B5 to inquire for other
delusions common in schizophrenia.

Instructions: Complete the Demographics source document and items

13-17 from the SCID/Psychiatric History source document to collect basic
demographic and treatment information for the study subject. Also, review
the Medical History source document and Physical Exam source document
to rule out psychiatric disorder due to a general medical condition. Use the
results of the SCID interview to score items 1-12 of the SCID/Psychiatric
History source document. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD
RECORD DSM IV DISORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE DURING
THE PAST 5 YEARS. Disorders that occurred more than 5 years ago and
have not been active during the past 5 years are not recorded on the
SCID/Psychiatry History source document.

(2) hallucinations
(3) disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence)
(4) grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
(5) negative symptoms i.e., affective flattening, alogia, or avolition
*Bizarre delusions involve a phenomenon that the persons culture would regard as
totally implausible. For example, a bizarre delusion would be that the patients
mother has been replaced by an exact double, or that the patients internal organs
are all removed. A non-bizarre delusion would be that the patient is under
surveillance, or that someone is poisoning him/her.
C3 D. Schizoaffective Disorder and Mood Disorder with Psychotic Features have been No Yes
ruled out because either:
(1) no Major Depressive, Manic, or Mixed Episodes have occurred concurrently with C8
the active-phase symptoms (i.e., the A symptoms listed in C2).
The following question may be asked for clarification: Has there ever been a time
when you had [PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS] at the same time that you were
depressed/high/irritable/OWN WORDS]?
(2) If mood episodes have occurred concurrently during active-phase symptoms,
their total duration has been brief relative to the duration of the active and
residual periods.

FROM ACTIVE AND RESIDUAL PHASES] would you say you have also been
depressed/high/irritable/OWN WORDS?

If C6 No (i.e., psychotic symptoms likely due to the direct effects of a substance or medical condition),
go back to C2 and determine whether there are psychotic symptoms that are not due to a substance or
general medical condition. Otherwise, go to C32.

cerebrovascular disease, Huntingtons Disease, epilepsy, auditory nerve injury, deafness, migraine,
central nervous system infections), endocrine conditions (e.g., hyper-and hypothyroidism, hyper-or

fluid or electrolyte imbalances, hepatic or renal diseases, and autoimmune disorders with central nervous
involvement (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosis). Etiological substance include alcohol, amphetamine,
cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids (meperidine), phencyclidine, sedatives, hypnotics,
anxiolytics, and other or unknown substances.
