Demographics. SAPS/SANS, Scale for the Assessment of Positive and Negative Symptoms (Andreasen, 1983a, b); CPZ, chlorpromazine equivalents, PANSS, Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (Kay et al., 1987). No subjects met criteria for current alcohol/drug use or dependence. CPZ equivalents were calculated using recently revised approaches (Andreasen et al., 2010) with 23/27 patients receiving medication. Of note, the SAPS and PANSS Positive scores of patients were highly correlated at r = 0.68, t (23) = 4.396, p < 0.001, 2-tailed, and the SANS and PANSS Negative Scores were correlated at r = 0.78, t (23) = 5.962, p < 0.001, 2-tailed, illustrating the high consistency of clinical ratings across instruments measuring similar clinical constructs.
