Some of these measures are part of larger, semistructured interviews administered by the therapist. The most commonly used assessments in this category are a family of instruments developed mainly in the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital system. The first instrument in this family is known as the Addiction Severity Index (ASI McLellan et al., 1985). The ASI assesses for a wide variety of biographical data, so it has the advantage of potentially being used as part of an intake interview. The ASI asks about consequences in a wide variety of life domains, and determines recent and lifetime patterns of drug and alcohol use. The ASI also detects recent and lifetime occurrence of problems in these different life domains (e.g., work). Each domain can be scored for the severity of the problems based upon the responses of the client and the clinical judgment of the interviewer. The ASI can be administered by computer to provide for rapid interpretation of answers.

Perhaps the oldest and most widely used instrument is the Pynoos version of the PTSD Reaction Index. This semistructured interview instrument is also useful for making a categorical diagnosis of PTSD and has been used in a variety of studies, including those on natural disasters, criminal assault, and war trauma (Pynoos and Nader, 1987 Pynoos, 1994). It is a 20-item Likert-scale instrument that is straightforward, can be used as a self-report instrument in addition to its use as a structured interview, is time efficient, and provides useful cutoff scores for severity.

Students with personal computers may prefer to store their notes in computer files because of the easy transfer of quoted material from file to essay draft. (Hint 3 Always make a hard copy of your notes and back up your files frequently in case of a crash ) You will probably find yourself taking notes by hand on those occasions when you are without your computer (library, classroom, interview, public speech, etc.), so carry index cards with you and transcribe your notes into your files later.

The infants were seen on a monthly basis. The interview of the parents was based on a diary kept by the parents. The primary outcome of the study was the cumulative incidence of atopic dermatitis during the first 6 months of life. The skin was investigated for atopic dermatitis according to the diagnostic criteria described by Harrigan and Rabinowitz (76) and Muraro et al. (69). The severity of the skin alterations was scored by the SCO RAD index based on extension, intensity of the skin symptoms, as well as on the subjective symptoms pruritus and sleep loss as recommended by the European Task Force on atopic dermatitis (77,78).
