Add to My Toolkit
Description

The modified Colorado Symptom Index (CSI) is a 14-item, self-report scale designed to assess frequency of positive mood and cognitive symptoms. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert-style scale (Not at all, Once during the month, Several times during the month, Several times a week, at least every day). Each item is scored on a 0-4 scale (not at all = 0; at least every day = 4) and added together to give a score between 0 and 56, with higher scores indicating greater emotional distress.
