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

A prospective longitudinal study from the Early Intervention Program in Catalonia evaluated 93 participants (36 at ultra-high risk, 43 with first-episode psychosis, and 14 controls). The dataset, created by Ana Barajas and last updated in April 2026, contains clinical interview data from multiple validated scales, including the CAARMS-S, PANSS, GAF, SCID-II, and K-SADS-PL.

Use Cases

• Validate the reliability of psychosis risk assessment tools based on reported Cronbach's α and ICC scores.
• Analyze correlations between different psychopathology scales based on the reported r-values between CAARMS-S and PANSS subscales.
• Model symptom progression and transition risk based on the longitudinal study design and 6-month follow-up data.
• Assess the sensitivity of clinical instruments to symptom changes based on the comparison of CAARMS-S and PANSS responsiveness.

Strengths

• Dataset demonstrates excellent reported internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.93) and inter-observer reliability (ICC = 0.92).
• Construct validity is supported by reported significant differences in PANSS scores among groups (p < 0.001).
• Data collection involved multiple validated clinical scales, suggesting a multi-faceted assessment approach.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small in scale (809.4 KB), indicating a limited sample size.
