Staging and profiling for schizophrenia spectrum disorders: Inter-rater reliability after a short training course

ConclusionThis study demonstrated that inter-rater reliability in clinical staging was sufficient after training. However, inter-rater reliability for clinical profile characteristics was highly variable. The general implementation of the clinical staging model for schizophrenia spectrum disorders is therefore feasible but clinical profile characteristics should be used with caution.
