|
|
Reliability
|
The extent to which particular screening tool consistently identifies the disorder for which it is used
|
|
Sensitivity
|
The proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such. Example: ELISA test for HIV. Sensitivity of the screening tool is important when the cost of failing to detect the disorder is high such as in suicide screen.
|
|
Specificity
|
The proportion of actual negatives that are correctly identified. A tool with high specificity is important when the cost of false positive is high. Example: Western blot test for confirmation of HIV
|
|
Gold standard test
|
I tester troll with a sufficiently high sensitivity and specificity to become centered definitive or the best available
|
|

|
Brief assessment is used to identify potential disorders. Example: CAGE
|
|
Assessment tools
|
Used to evaluate and assess the presence of specific symptoms and their severity. Example: AIMS and GAF
|
|
Treatment directed tools
|
