Developing a Comprehensive Multidimensional Wellbeing Index Based on What People Value: An Application to a Middle-Income Country.

Unlabelled: We introduce a comprehensive policy-relevant measure of multidimensional wellbeing conceptually rooted in Amartya Sen's capability approach and applied to a middle-income country: the Multidimensional Wellbeing Index for Peru (MWI-P). We design and collect a specialized survey in Peru in late 2018, which included data on wellbeing achievements across 12 dimensions, on the value that respondents place upon each of these dimensions, and on self-perceived freedom. Then, we utilize this information to set the weighting structure and select a wellbeing sufficiency threshold for the MWI-P, which we estimate using the capability-inspired Alkire-Foster method.

Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS): inter-rater and test-retest reliability and validity in a Spanish population.

Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the DIGS in Spanish population.

Methods: Inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the Spanish version of DIGS was tested in 95 inpatients and outpatients. The resultant diagnoses were compared with diagnoses obtained by the LEAD (Longitudinal Expert All Data) procedure as "gold standard".

Developmental instability and schizotypy.

Introduction: It has been suggested that evidence of developmental disturbance of cognition and lateralisation in schizophrenia can be best understood from the perspective of developmental stability (DS), an indicator of the extent to which an individual develops according to a specified ontogenic programme in the presence of environmental noise. Higher levels of fluctuating asymmetry (FA; the difference between right and left side of a quantitative morphological trait such as dermatoglyphics) are thought to reflect less DS. We examined this issue for dimensions of schizotypy.

Neurological soft signs in adolescents with poor performance on the continous performance test: markers of liability for schizophrenia spectrum disorders?

There is much evidence that neurological soft signs (NSS) are highly prevalent in both adults and children with schizophrenia. In addition, they have been detected as early precursors of a schizophrenic outcome in at-risk subjects. Such findings point to the possible value of NSS as neurointegrative markers in schizophrenia which has been hypothesized to be a neurodevelopmental disease.
