Immediate Memory Task/Delayed Memory Task
The IMT/DMT (Dougherty, Marsh, & Mathias, 2002) is a continuous performance test that was designed to assess impulsive behavior. The Immediate Memory Task involves comparison of consecutively presented numbers and responding in those instances when the current number matches the number immediately before it (called a correct detection). The Delayed Memory Task similarly involves responding to matching numbers, but the numbers to be compared are separated by a filler sequence (e.g. 12345).
McLean Hospital Event Overt Aggression Checklist
The MOASCL is a self administered 20-item questionnaire that assesses 5 areas of aggression each represented by 4 items (Teicher et al., 1989; Salzman et al., 1995).
Change in Sexual Function Questionnaire
The CSFQ is a 36-item questionnaire designed to measure sexual functioning. It is a self-administered assessment that asks the subject to rate changes in his or her sexual function. The CSFQ total score ratings serve as indicators of comorbidity- or medication-related sexual dysfunction.
Systematic Assessment for Treatment Emergent Effects
The SAFTEE is a technique for the systematic assessment of side effects in clinical trials developed by National Institute of Mental Health (Levine & Schooler, 1986). It is a questionnaire that rates the current severity of a wide range of somatic, behavioral and affective symptoms in general and specific inquiry formats. It is designed to report adverse health events, regardless of whether or not they are suspected to be drug related, in order to reduce the under-reporting of unanticipated events compared with "known or expected" events.
