An Examination of Mental Health Practitioner Perceptions, Preparedness, and Experience with the Diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder - California Southern University, USA - Online Study

This research aims to understand mental health practitioner experiences and preparedness for diagnosing and treating PMDD. While there is research about the patient experience in diagnosing PMDD, but little to no research about clinician experiences. This research will gain insight into the challenges and strengths of PMDD care from a clinician perspective to continue enhancing PMDD Care.

Looking for: US-based Licensed Mental Health Practitioner in good standing and at least three years of professional experience working with psychiatric patients.

If you are interested in taking part, please email Kathryn Scardino who is leading this research.


Submitting Your Research/Looking For Candidates

We often get contacted by researchers looking for patients to take part in their research - and this is something we want to nurture and encourage! If you are a student/researcher and would like to submit your survey to appear on this page, please submit your details below. Please note that you must have evidence of Ethics Board approval to be considered to feature. To ensure high-quality data comes from your research it is vital that you are aware of the strict diagnostic criteria for PMDD. For researchers, we would recommend using The Carolina Premenstrual Assessment Scoring System (C-PASS) - an algorithm for making the DSM-5 diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) using two cycles of daily symptom ratings on the Daily record of severity of problems (DRSP). The C-PASS diagnostic tool has recently been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.


 

We make every effort to keep these trials listed up to date - if you notice any changes/additions that need to be made please do let us know by contacting us here.
