AB  - This study examined the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a neurocognitive 
      screener and its relationship with functional outcomes in a sample of outpatients 
      diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI). The MoCA, Brief Assessment of 
      Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS), UCSD Performance-Based Skills Assessment 
      Test-2 (UPSA-2), and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) were administered to 
      28 SMI patients and 18 non-psychiatric controls. Patients obtained significantly 
      lower scores on the MoCA, BACS, UPSA-2, and GAF compared to non-patients. The 
      cutoff score <26 of the MoCA resulted in favorable sensitivity (89%) but lower 
      specificity (61%) in classification of SMI patients. The MoCA was significantly 
      correlated with UPSA scores but not GAF scores, whereas the BACS was not 
      significantly correlated with UPSA or GAF scores. When entered into hierarchical 
      regression analyses, the MoCA accounted for significant variance in UPSA scores 
      above variance accounted for by the BACS. Both the MoCA and the BACS contributed 
      unique variance in GAF scores. Overall, the MoCA demonstrated high sensitivity as 
      a cognitive screener in SMI. Moreover, MoCA scores were related to 
      performance-based measures of functional capacity.
