Performance on the post-training quiz was excellent for those with and without prior training in structured diagnostic interviewing.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The Mini-SIPS, and accompanying training program, are offered as public-domain clinical resources to the mental health community.BMC psychiatryThe Mini-SIPS: development of a brief clinical structured interview guide to diagnosing DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome and training outcomes.PMC9746189UL1 TR001863McGlashan THWoods SWWalsh BCLympus CCannon TDfalseThe Mini-SIPS: development of a brief clinical structured interview guide to diagnosing DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome and training outcomes.<h4>Objective</h4>The Mini-SIPS, a condensed version of the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes (SIPS), is intended to efficiently identify for clinicians the minimum information needed to support a DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) diagnosis.<h4>Methods</h4>The instrument and the DSM-5 criteria are accessible through the online training program.<h4>Results</h4>Most individuals (67.5%) in the first 212 to complete the training program indicated an intended use of the Mini-SIPS exclusively for clinical purposes.
