The third in this series of DSM-IV-based symptom checklists, the ASI-4 can be used to evaluate 12- through 18-year-olds. It consists of two checklists–one completed by the teacher and one completed by the parent or anyone familiar with the teenager’s behavioral and emotional functioning.

The ASI screens for symptoms of the most common adolescent disorders and problem areas specified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA):

ADHD Schizophrenia

Conduct Disorder Schizoid Personality

Antisocial Personality Panic Attack

Separation Anxiety Specific Phobia

Generalized Anxiety Bipolar Disorder

Social Phobia Vocal Tics

Depression Motor Tics

Dysthymia Anorexia

Oppositional Defiant Disorder Bulimia

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Drug Use

Completed in just 10 to 15 minutes, the ASI-4 provides symptom cutoff scores based on DSM-IV. School personnel can use these scores to help determine whether a formal clinical evaluation is warranted. Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists can use them to focus their diagnostic evaluations.
