Exploring construct validity of clinical staging in schizophrenia spectrum disorders in an acute psychiatric ward.

CONCLUSION: this study demonstrates that clinical staging in schizophrenia spectrum disorders has an acceptable construct validity between earlier and more chronic stages of disease. Several clinical profilers increase in more advanced stages compared to earlier clinical stages, which supports construct validity. PMID: 29944422 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
