PG - 285-8 AB - Described is the development of a self-rating geriatric behavioral scale modeled after the Sandoz Clinical Assessment-Geriatric (SCAG). This new Self-Assessment Scale-Geriatric (SASG) provides a valid and reliable measure of behavioral pathologic changes for the selective screening of elderly patients who manifest mile to moderate symptoms of dementia. Further use and refinement of this new measuring device are required to confer on it the maximum possible accuracy.
