TI  - The independent living scales as a measure of functional outcome for 
      schizophrenia.
PG  - 1052-4
AB  - The Independent Living Scales (ILS) measures cognitive skills required for 
      independent living and is intended to provide guidelines for appropriate 
      supervision requirements for persons in residential placement. To assess the 
      validity of the ILS among persons with schizophrenia, the instrument was 
      administered to 162 individuals with schizophrenia who were living in three 
      gradations of care: maximum supervision, moderate supervision, and minimal 
      supervision. Scores on the ILS differed significantly across the three levels of 
      care, whereas scores on the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) that were 
      provided by clinicians discriminated only two levels of care. The ILS can be used 
      among patients with schizophrenia to measure cognition as it affects functional 
      outcome.
