CAARMS-S: Spanish Clinical Interview Data for Psychosis Risk Assessment

Ana Barajas's dataset contains clinical assessment data from a study evaluating the Spanish version of the Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States (CAARMS-S) interview. The data includes scores from 36 individuals at ultra-high risk, 43 with first-episode psychosis, and 14 matched controls, collected through clinical interviews and validated scales like PANSS and GAF. The dataset was last updated on April 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate clinical assessment tools based on reliability metrics like Cronbach's alpha and ICC reported in the description.
• Model psychosis risk transition based on longitudinal data tracking symptom changes over 6 months.
• Analyze correlations between different symptom domains based on reported relationships between CAARMS-S and PANSS subscales.
• Benchmark early intervention program outcomes based on the described participant groups (UHR, FEP, controls).

Strengths

• Dataset demonstrates excellent reported reliability metrics (Cronbach's α = 0.93, ICC = 0.92).
• Includes data from three distinct clinical groups (UHR, FEP, controls) for comparative analysis.
• Longitudinal component tracks symptom changes over a 6-month period.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (37.8 KB), indicating limited scope.
