| Purpose | Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN) — administration and scoring reference. |
Administration
Use the specified SCAN edition with the required training, glossary and standardized symptom coding.
Scoring method
Standardized symptom interview/coding and version-specific algorithms.
Interpretation & limitations
- Record symptom ratings and apply the supported classification algorithm for the selected version.
- Interpret the findings alongside the clinical interview, functioning, history and relevant physical assessment.
- The interview depends on clinical judgment and coding conventions; a website questionnaire or total score is not an equivalent administration.
- Use the original instrument and manual for item wording, rating anchors, missing-data rules and any normative conversions. This reference does not establish a diagnosis or select treatment.
