The Diagnostic Assessment Instruments Study Group was chaired by Jack D. Burke, Jr., M.D., M.P.H. The goal of the Assessment Instruments Study Group was to develop cross-cutting and disorder-specific dimensional assessments of severity for use in conjunction with the categorical diagnostic criteria.
The study group sought to develop instruments that are: useful for a broad range of professionals, such as psychiatrists, other mental health clinicians, primary care clinicians, and researchers; comparable across languages, cultures, and disorders; suitable in length, comprehension, and scoring. The study group members were also mindful of the need to develop instruments for specific populations, such as children and adolescents. The instruments developed by the study group were tested during the DSM-5 field trials.
