DSM-5 recognizes six different disorders as being in the category of Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders: antisocial personality disorder, conduct disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, kleptomania, oppositional defiant disorder, and pyromania.

 

Antisocial Personality Disorder Scale

 

There is a 7-item Antisocial Personality Disorder subscale in the following Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories:

 

• Adolescent Symptom Inventory (middle school, junior & senior high school)

• Adult Inventories (adults)

 

The Antisocial Personality Disorder subscale of Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories is reported on in a number of scientific publications, representative examples of which are Byrd, Manuck, Hawes, et al., 2006; Chien, Gau, & Gadow, 2011; Dunn, Austin, & Perkins, 2009; Konikkou, Kostantinou, & Fanti, 2020; and Kyranides, Fanti, Sikki, & Patrick, 2017. Abstracts of these and other studies can be accessed by clicking the link to Research Bibliography.

​

Conduct Disorder Scale

 

There is a 10-to-15 item (depending on age) Conduct Disorder subscale in the following Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories:

 

• Early Childhood Inventory (early childhood)

• Child Symptom Inventory (elementary school)

• Adolescent Symptom Inventory (secondary school)

• Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (elementary & secondary school)

• Youth’s (Self Report) Inventory (secondary school)

• Adult Inventories (adults)

 

The Conduct Disorder subscale of Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories is reported on in hundreds of scientific publications, representative examples of which are Bachanas, Morris, Lewis-Gess, et al., 2002; Drabick, Beauchaine, Gadow, et al., 2006; Fanti & Lordos, 2020; Guttmann-Steinmetz, Gadow, & DeVincent, 2009; Loeber, Stepp, Chung, et al., 2010; Osigwe, Gadow, Nachman, & Drabick, 2020; and Roberts, McCrory, Bird, et al., 2020. Abstracts of these and other studies can be accessed by clicking the link to Research Bibliography.

​

Conduct Disorder with Limited Prosocial Emotions Scale

​

There is a 4-item Limited Prosocial Emotions subscale in the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (elementary & secondary school).

​

Intermittent Explosive Disorder Item

​

There is one key symptom of intermittent explosive disorder in Checkmate Plus Adult Inventories.

​

Kleptomania Item

​

There is one key symptom of kleptomania in Checkmate Plus Adult Inventories.

 

 

Oppositional Defiant Disorder Scale

 

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is one of the more common psychiatric disorders and typically co-occurs with AD/HD.

 

The 8-item Oppositional Defiant Disorder subscale appears in all Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories.

 

• Early Childhood Inventory (early childhood)

• Child Symptom Inventory (elementary school)

• Adolescent Symptom Inventory (secondary school)

• Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (elementary & secondary school)

• Youth’s (Self Report) Inventory (secondary school)

• Adult Inventories (adults)

 

• ADHD Symptom Checklist (children and adolescents)

• ADHD School Observation Code (elementary school)

 

The ODD subscale of Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories is reported on in hundreds of scientific publications, representative examples of which are Drabick, Beauchaine, Gadow, et al., 2006; Drabick, Gadow, and Loney, 2007, 2008; Drabick and Gadow, 2012; Gadow, DeVincent, and Drabick, 2008; Gadow, Nolan, Sverd, et al., 2008; Guttmann-Steinmetz, Gadow, and DeVincent, 2009; and Osigwe, Gadow, Nachman, and Drabick, 2020. Abstracts of these and other studies can be accessed by clicking the link to Research Bibliography.

 

            There are also empirically derived subscales and empirically generated scoring algorithms for ODD generated from the Symptom Inventories (Drabick and Gadow, 2012).

 

Pyromania Item

 

The Conduct Disorder subscale appears in all Checkmate Plus Symptom Inventories and includes an item that refers to fire setting. In addition, there is one key symptom of pyromania in the Adult Inventories.

​

​

ADHD SYMPTOM CHECKLIST-4

​

The ADHD Symptom Checklist-4 (ADHD-SC4) is a 50-item rating scale for evaluating response to treatment in children and adolescents with AD/HD (ages 3 to 18 years). The same version can be completed by parents and teachers. The ADHD-SC4 comprises four subscales: DSM-5 symptoms of AD/HD; DSM-5 symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD); the Peer Conflict Scale, which measures interpersonal peer aggression; and the Stimulant Side Effects Checklist (to monitor medication). The ADHD Symptom Checklist-4 or its subscales are reported on in scores of scientific publications, representative examples of which are Angello, Volpe, DiPerna, et al., 2003; Block, 1998; Gadow, Arnold, Molina, et al., 2014; Pfiffner, Hinshaw, Owens, et al., 2014; Ogg, Rogers, and Volpe, 2020; and Pelham, Fabiano, and Massetti, 2005.

CHILD & ADOLESCENT SYMPTOM INVENTORY-PROGRESS MONITOR

 

The Child & Adolescent Symptom Inventory-Progress Monitor (CASI-PM) is a brief behavior rating scale for DSM-5 emotional and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents between 3 and 18 years old. It was developed to monitor the progress over time and to assess changes in symptoms as a function of intervention. There are both parent (29 items) and teacher (30 items) versions of the CASI-PM. The CASI-PM contains a subset of the common items from Early Childhood Inventory-5 (ECI-5) and the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory-5 (CASI-5), which makes it an ideal progress monitor for qualified professionals who use these diagnostic measures. It assesses symptoms of ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and depression. The CASI-PM also assess functional impairment (i.e., the degree to which symptoms interfere with social or academic functioning).

 

The Child & Adolescent Symptom Inventory-Progress Monitor is reported on in scientific publications, representative examples of which are Dart, Arora, Collins, and Doll, 2019; Mpango, Ssembajjwe, Muyingo, Gadow, et al., 2019; and Lavigne, Cromley, Sprafkin, and Gadow, 2009.
