Abstract
The Knowledge About Schizophrenia Questionnaire (KASQ), a 25-item multiple-choice test, was developed to assess patients' knowledge about their illness and its management. A total of 136 inpatients participated in four studies, including one cross-validation study, to examine the reliability and validity of the KASQ. Reliability was assessed by measuring the test's precision, internal consistency, and stability of scores. Validity was investigated by comparing patients' scores before and after participation in an educational intervention, and by comparing these scores with those of a waiting-list control group. Results indicate that the KASQ has sound psychometric properties and support its use as an outcome measure.

Dea Jutta:
this was helpful, this was really, what am was looking for . God bless
That's two very different things but if you're looking for the presence and severity of schizophrenia symptoms you might look at the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) or the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS).
