A dimensional-spectrum model of mental disorders: developing new assessments to improve the diagnostic validity of multiple mental disorders [ 2013 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Matthew Sunderland (Principal investigator)

Brief description Advances in the scientific literature have highlighted that significant improvements to validity and clinical utility can be made through the use of a dimensional-spectrum model of psychopathology. To encourage the future use of the dimensional-spectrum model, the current research project aims to develop and test an innovative and novel assessment tool for diagnosing mental disorders in community and clinical populations using a dimensional-spectrum model as the guiding theoretical framework.
