The Selfscreen Prodrome and the Risk Checklist can complement one another, but can also be used sequentially.
 

Basel Screening Instrument for Psychoses (BSIP) → download

The BSIP is a short instrument for the early detection of beginning psychoses respectively a state of risk, which is applicable in the clinical practice and can be conducted in a timely manner. It can help to decide if a patient

b) is at risk for psychosis

c) already suffers from frank psychosis.

It was created to identify individuals which should be thoroughly assessed in a next step. The BSIP is a check list with instructions for a half-structured clinical interview by a psychiatrist. The interview approximately takes 45 to 60 minutes. Training is recommended.
