Moss-PAS (Check) is a 25-item questionnaire, written in everyday language, for use primarily by care staff and families who are best placed to notice changes in the behaviour of the people they support. It is designed to record the presence of a range of problems, all of which may be part of a psychiatric condition. The Checklist aims to help staff and carers to identify potential mental health problems and decide whether a further assessment of an individual's mental health may be helpful. Moss-PAS (Check) can be used to screen whole groups of individuals, or as part of a regular monitoring of people who are considered to be at risk of mental illness. The scoring system includes threshold scores which, if exceeded, indicate the presence of a potential psychiatric problem. This may then be more fully assessed using Moss-PAS (ID) or Moss-PAS (Diag ID). The score forms with guidance are available in packs of 20.
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 PASADD system, now entitled MPAS (Moss Psychiatric Assessment), 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 MPAS (PAS-ADD) system. He 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.
