Abstract
This study assesses the sensitivity of full and brief forms of a parentβrated mania scale to variations in diagnoses. Parents of a sample of 150 subjects either diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or healthy controls (HC), completed the full Child Mania Rating Scale and other measures. We used singleβparameter itemβresponse theory models to produce a brief parent mania rating scale from the full version. The 10βitem, brief Child Mania Rating ScaleβParent (CMRSβP) version correlated .93 with 11 items from the full CMRSβP that were not used in constructing the brief version, and showed accuracy comparable to the full scale in differentiating BD from ADHD, and in discriminating among bipolar subtypes.
