The treatment response scale: a retrospective method of assessing response to neuroleptics

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.140.9.1210

The 10-item Treatment Response Scale (TRS) was used to rate the charts of schizophrenic inpatients for prior response to neuroleptic treatment.

The results indicate that findings from a systematic chart review correlate substantially with clinical assessment of response.
