QuickSCID-5 : Quick Structured Clinical Interview for Dsm-5 Disorders

QuickSCID-5 is a briefer, more time-efficient version of the SCID designed to be administered usually in 30 minutes or less. The shorter administration time results from the fact that QuickSCID-5 consists almost entirely of closed-ended questions that can be answered "YES" or "NO" by the patient.
