Correlates of the DSM-III-R Global Assessment of Functioning Scale in Patients Attending a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Service

Sex, socioeconomic status, intelligence, a clinical symptom score, and an index of abnormal psychosocial situations as proposed by a recent WHO draft were studied as correlates of the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAFS), which comprises Axis V of the DSM-III-R . Whereas all parameters correlated significantly with the GAFS score, only total symptom domain score displayed a meaningful association. It was concluded that the GAFS contributes significantly to clinical information as an independent source.
