Description: The Child & Adolescent Symptom Inventory-5 (CASI-5) is a behavior rating scale for DSM-5-defined emotional and behavioral disorders in youths between 5 and 18 years old. There is a parent (173 items, 8 pages) and teacher (125 items, 7 pages) version of the CASI-5. The CASI-5 includes all of the items from both the previously published Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4) and the Adolescent Symptom Inventory-4 (ASI-4) in a single measure. Furthermore, each symptom category includes an Impairment question (i.e., the degree to which symptoms interfere with the youth’s social or academic functioning). The CASI-5 replaces the CASI-4R. The fifth revision to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013 resulted in the addition of a few new disorders and in some cases changes in symptoms, names of disorders, or minor alterations in “scoring rules.” Many of these changes are reflected in the CASI-5. Because so many clinicians and researchers are currently using the CASI-4R and some of the DSM-5 revisions are controversial or lack extensive research support, the CASI-5 includes all the original CASI-4R items (with their respective item numbers) to ensure a seamless transition from the CASI-4R to the CASI-5. The CASI-5 can be easily adopted by professionals who are already familiar with the CSI-4, ASI-4, or CASI-4R. There are no new norms for the CASI-5 because only one new multi-item disorder (3 or more items) was added to the DSM-5 revision, and the symptoms of the remaining disorders were essentially unchanged. DISORDERS INCLUDED: The CASI-5 assesses symptoms of the following disorders: ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, major depressive episode, manic episode, dysthymic disorder, schizophrenia, autistic/Asperger’s disorder, anorexia, and bulimia. One or two key symptoms of each of the following disorders are also included: posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobia, panic disorder, selective mutism, trichotillomania, motor tics, vocal tics, and substance use.
