The reliability and validity of two assessment scales in the elderly mentally handicapped

AH Smith, BR Ballinger and AS Presly

The Clifton Assessment Schedule and the Shortened Stockton Rating Scale were administered to 38 elderly, mentally handicapped patients. Inter- rater reliability was high and the CAS was found to be a useful measure of cognitive ability. The tests measure different features of patients, but both correlated significantly with estimated levels of independence.
