Recall the participant selection methodology utilized in the Wrobel et al. (2023) study. List the specific diagnoses that were required for inclusion in the sample, and name both the interview tool and the diagnostic criteria manual used to assess these participants.
Question: Recall the participant selection methodology utilized in the Wrobel et al. (2023) study. List the specific diagnoses that were required for inclusion in the sample, and name both the interview tool and the diagnostic criteria manual used to assess these participants.
Sample answer: The study included participants diagnosed with bipolar I, bipolar II, bipolar disorder not otherwise specified, and schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type). To properly assess and confirm these diagnoses, the researchers utilized the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS) and clinicians followed DSM-IV criteria.
Key points:
- Recalls the inclusion of bipolar I and bipolar II.
- Recalls the inclusion of bipolar disorder not otherwise specified.
- Recalls the inclusion of schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type).
- Names the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS).
- States that clinicians followed DSM-IV criteria for diagnostic confirmation.
Rubric: Award full credit if the student accurately lists all four diagnostic categories and correctly names both the DIGS assessment tool and the DSM-IV criteria.
