The Structured Clinical Interview for Symptoms of Remission for the PANSS (SCI-SR) • The SCI-SR is a brief interview that may be used in research and treatment settings to assess remission based on eight PANSS items. • Informant data is required to confirm functional status on 4 of the 8 items. This data may be collected from third party sources (nursing staff, families, caregivers) or provided by the clinician conducting the interview (assuming sufficient patient contact has occurred in the prior period of interest) • Each item is rated using the well-validated criteria and anchoring points for each as described in the PANSS Manual©. • Unlike the SCI-PANSS, the SCI-SR may be administered in approximately 15 minutes or less. • Based on Andreasen et al. (2005), remission is defined as a score of 3 (Mild) or less for each item, maintained over 6 month period.
