AB  - BACKGROUND: Psychotic experiences are reported in the general population. The 
      Questionnaire for Psychotic Experiences (QPE) was created to test the 
      phenomenological features of these experiences and compare them with those 
      reported in patients with psychiatric and other medical conditions. The aim of 
      this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the 
      QPE. METHODS: We recruited 50 patients with psychotic disorders from the Hamad 
      Medical Hospital in Doha, Qatar. Patients underwent assessment over three 
      sessions with trained interviewees using the Arabic versions of QPE, Positive and 
      Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF). Patients were also reassessed using the 
      QPE and GAF after 14-days from the initial assessment in order to test for the 
      stability of the scale. In this respect, this is the first study that assesses 
      the test-retest reliability of the QPE. The psychometric properties including 
      convergent validity, stability, and internal consistency met the benchmarked 
      criteria. RESULTS: Results confirmed that the Arabic version of QPE accurately 
      measured the experiences of patients that were also reported using the PANSS, an 
      internationally accepted, well-established scale for measuring psychotic symptom 
      severity. CONCLUSION: We propose the use of the QPE to describe the phenomenology 
      of PEs across modalities in Arabic speaking communities.
