TI  - Reliability and validity of the CANDID--a needs assessment instrument for adults 
      with learning disabilities and mental health problems.
PG  - 473-8
AB  - BACKGROUND: People with learning disabilities and mental health problems have 
      complex needs. Care should be provided according to need. AIM: To develop a 
      standardised needs-assessment instrument for adults with learning disabilities 
      and mental health problems. METHOD: The Camberwell Assessment of Need for Adults 
      with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (CANDID) was developed by 
      modifying the Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN). Concurrent validity was tested 
      using the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and the Disability Assessment 
      Schedule (DAS). Test-retest and interrater reliability were investigated using 40 
      adults with learning disabilities and mental health problems. RESULTS: CANDID 
      scores were significantly correlated with both DAS (P < 0.05) and GAF scores (P < 
      0.01). Correlation coefficients for interrater reliability were 0.93 (user), 0.90 
      (career), and 0.97 (staff ratings); for test-retest reliability they were 0.71, 
      0.69 and 0.86 respectively. Mean interview duration was less than 30 minutes. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The CANDID is a brief, valid and reliable needs assessment 
      instrument for adults with learning disabilities and mental health problems.
