Assessing self-reported prolonged grief disorder with "clinical checks": A proof of principle study.

Psychological assessment is commonly conducted using either self-report measures or clinical interviews; the former are quick and easy to administer, and the latter are more time-consuming and require training. Self-report measures have been criticized for producing higher estimates of symptom and disorder presence relative to clinical interviews, with the assumption being that self-report measures are prone to Type 1 error. Here, we introduce the use of "clinical checks" within an existing self-report measure.

Coping strategies and symptoms of Adjustment Disorder among adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during the Covid-19 pandemic.

A longitudinal study of risk and protective factors for symptoms of adjustment disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple stressors that may lead to symptoms of adjustment disorder. We longitudinally examined relationships between risk and protective factors, pandemic-related stressors and symptoms of adjustment disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as whether these relationships differed by the time of assessment. The European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS) ADJUST Study included = 15,169 participants aged 18 years and above.
