PG - 251-253 LID - S0165-1781(17)30360-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.psychres.2017.10.033 [doi] AB - WHODAS-2.0 is a suggested replacement to the GAF in DSM-5. This study's purpose was to assess their comparative correlation in adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. 42 individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were administered both tools and the PANSS. Pearson product moment correlations were computed and the different methods compared using bootstrap. There was no significant correlation between raw WHODAS-2.0 and GAF scores for all participants and a modest correlation between corrected WHODAS-2.0 and GAF scores for outpatients. The WHODAS-2.0 and GAF did not correlate when WHODAS-2.0 was self-rated, and only modestly correlated when clinician-rater corrected. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
