• OBJECTIVE: The present study describes the development of the Cleveland Adaptive Psychopathology Inventory (CAPI), a brief multi-scale personality and psychopathology questionnaire for the screening of common mental health disorders. METHODS: The 118-item questionnaire consists of 10 clinical scales, a brief scale for the screening of substance abuse, and three scales for the assessment of response bias. A sample of 4000 volunteers with and without self-reported medical or mental health conditions was used to assess the psychometric properties of the open source measure including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and preliminary validity analyses with diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of self-reported psychiatric diagnosis. RESULTS: Internal consistency of the subscales for the normative sample ranged from .568 to .872, with mean inter-item correlations ranging from .161 to .410. The average test-retest across all of the samples ranged from .706 to .872. Finally, sensitivity and specificity (area under the curve) for the subscales with the dependent variables being self-reported diagnosis ranged from .666 to .899. CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary results suggest that the CAPI is a useful tool for clinicians and researchers interested in screening for comorbid psychopathology in both general and clinical populations.
