RE:May 2017: Screening and assessment for severe mental illness for RSAT programs serving individuals with co-occurring disorders.
Screening Tools for bipolar disorder

Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI)-Based Screening Scale for Bipolar Spectrum Disorders

The CIDI-based screening scale consists of questions about symptom clusters and individual symptoms. Researchers have estimated that the CIDI-based screening scale identifies between 67 percent and 96 percent of bipolar disorder cases, depending in part on where the cut points for a positive result are set. The screening scale is available at https://www.integration.samhsa.gov/images/res/STABLE_toolkit.pdf.
