  • Title: The Schedule for the Deficit syndrome: an instrument for research in schizophrenia.
    Author: Kirkpatrick B, Buchanan RW, McKenney PD, Alphs LD, Carpenter WT.
    Journal: Psychiatry Res; 1989 Nov; 30(2):119-23. PubMed ID: 2616682.
    Abstract:
    The Schedule for the Deficit Syndrome (SDS) is an instrument for categorizing schizophrenic patients into those with and those without the deficit syndrome. In a study of 40 schizophrenic patients diagnosed by DSM-III criteria, raters using the SDS demonstrated good interrater reliability for this categorization, as well as for individual negative symptoms and a rating of global severity.
