Psychometric Properties of the Dyskinesia Identification System: Condensed User Scale (DISCUS).

Sprague, Robert L.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v27 n3 p141-48 Jun 1989

Individuals with developmental disability (n=400) were assessed with the "Dyskinesia Identification System: Condensed User Scale" (DISCUS), a 15-item tardive dyskinesia rating scale shortened from the "Dyskinesia Identification System-Coldwater." Based on interrater reliability, 2-week stability, and other analyses, DISCUS is recommended as the instrument of choice in monitoring tardive dyskinesia. (JDD)
