CDE Detailed Report

As part of (your or your family member's) evaluation, it would be helpful to have your observations about (your or his/her) behavior. This questionnaire will allow us to better understand (your or your relative's) behavior. You will be asked to rate the frequency of (your or his/her) behavior on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is Almost never, 2 is Seldom, 3 is Sometimes, 4 is Frequently, and 5 is Almost always. You will be asked to rate (your or his/her) behavior at two points in time: before (your or his/her) illness, injury, or problems began and at the present time, or after the illness or injury occurred. Be sure you complete both columns on the form since they are both important for measuring changes in (your or your relative's) behavior. Please read each of the phrases on the form that are used to describe a person's behavior. The questionnaire asks, "How often (do you or does your relative) engage in the behavior described at each point in time?'' Circle the number in each column, Before illness or injury and After illness or injury, that corresponds to your rating for the behavior described.

To plot an individual's FrSBe profile, one must first convert the raw scores to T scores using the normative tables located in the appendixes of this manual. Identify the appropriate normative tables according to the rating form used (Self-Rating or Family Rating Form), the gender, age, and education level of the rated individual, and the Total scale or subscale needed. Locate the specific raw score for the Total scale in the Total scale appendix table. Then, locate the corresponding T score for the selected raw score for the Total scale. Enter the T score in the space provided just below the corresponding raw score on the bottom of the profile form. Use the same procedure to convert the subscale raw scores to T scores.

Reverse scoring. The instructions may be simplified or repeated as often as necessary until the rater fully understands them. As noted earlier, the examiner should remain available to answer any questions the patient or rater may have (regardless of any cognitive limitations they may have) as they complete the appropriate rating form. It should be noted that there is a visual break on the second page of each rating form between Items 32 and 33, along with the instruction "Read each of the following items carefully before responding." This is to ensure that the rater is alert to the shift in item content, namely from items reflecting negative or maladaptive behaviors (Items 1-32) to items reflecting more positive or adaptive behaviors (Items 33-46). It is recommended that the examiner visually inspect the rater's responses to Items 33-46 to confirm that the pattern of ratings has changed in the appropriate direction. If it appears that the rater has not responded to these items in the expected direction, then the examiner should review with the rater his or her individual responses to these items.
