The Children's Global Assessment Scale in Clinical Practice: An Empirical Evaluation
Open accessAbstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to examine characteristics of the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) in the context of clinical practice. Method Ninety-five children admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit were rated by their attending psychiatrist and by milieu staff on the CGAS. Measures of severity and type of symptomatology; social, behavioral, and school competence; intellectual level; social relatedness; and family stress were completed by parents and staff raters. Results Results indicated that there was significant convergence in CGAS ratings by independent raters. CGAS ratings were unrelated to measures of symptomatology but were significantly related to indices of children's competence. Conclusions This pattern of results diverged from findings from highly controlled research settings and indicated that CGAS ratings obtained in clinical contexts may reflect evaluations of functional competence rather than severity of symptomatology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
