      discriminant validity and retest reliability.

AB  - Scales used in studies of bipolar disorder have generally been standardized with 
      major depressive or hospitalized manic patients. A clinician rated scale based on 
      a semi-structured interview for persons with bipolar disorder, with comprehensive 
      coverage of bipolar symptomatology, is needed. We report concurrent, divergent 
      and convergent psychometric reliability, discriminant validity and relationship 
      to a measure of overall function for a new psychometric rating instrument. A 
      primarily outpatient sample of 224 subjects was assessed using the Bipolar 
      Inventory of Symptoms Scale (BISS). The BISS total score and depression and mania 
      subscales were compared to the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), the Montgomery 
      Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Global Assessment of Functioning 
      Scale (GAF). Clinical mood states were also compared using the BISS. The BISS 
      scores demonstrated good concurrent validity, with estimates (Pearson 
      correlations) ranging from 0.74 to 0.94 for YMRS and MADRS and test-retest 
      reliability from 0.95 to 0.98. BISS concurrent validity with the GAF was 
      significant for four clinical states, but not mixed states. The BISS 
      discriminated primary bipolar mood states as well as subjects recovered for eight 
      weeks compared to healthy controls. In conclusion, the BISS is a reliable and 
      valid instrument broadly applicable in clinical research to assess the 
      comprehensive domains of bipolar disorder. Future directions include factor 
      analysis and sensitivity to change from treatment studies.
