The Moss-PAS (ChA), formerly called ChA-PAS Interview, is for the mental health assessment of children and adolescents across the full developmental spectrum, including intellectual disability. It provides a semi-structured interview format in which the young person may contribute to whatever degree they are able, or it may be conducted by informant interview only. Recently revised and fully compliant with DSM5 and ICD11, the scoring system provides a single score for each of the diagnostic constellations, each of which has a corresponding threshold. If the child or young person reaches or exceeds the threshold it is probable that they warrant a diagnosis in that constellation. However, a strong emphasis is placed on the importance of expert clinical judgement when interpreting the scores in relation to other pieces of information, such as history, environment, and family factors. Question wordings, symptom definitions and glossary notes were developed by clinical experts from Canada and the UK.
Dr Steve Moss has worked for 30 years in disability research, initially in the fields of children with visual impairment and children's motor development, and subsequently in the areas of intellectual disability and mental health assessment. His work on development of the PAS-ADD system, now entitled Moss-PAS (Moss Psychiatric Assessment Schedules), is particularly well known, and these assessments are now used in many countries throughout the world. Dr Moss has published over 80 articles, chapters, books and assessments, and has trained several thousand people around the work in use of the Moss-PAS (PAS-ADD) system. Steve Moss worked for 20 years at the Hester Adrian Research Centre, Manchester University, and later at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, where he continues to have an honorary post.
Fully compliant with DSM-5 and ICD-11, the Moss-PAS (ChA) covers: * Anxiety disorder * Depressive episode * Manic episode * Obsessive compulsive disorder * Conduct disorder * Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) * Psychosis * Autistic spectrum The assessment manual provides full guidance and comes with a starter pack of 20 score forms.
