What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. BEHAVE-AD psychosis subscale score

    The BEHAVE-AD psychosis subscale is comprised of 7 items from the paranoid and delusional ideations domain and 5 items from the hallucinations domain. The scale is rated on a 4--point scale of severity, from 0 (not present) to 3 (present, generally with an emotional and physical component). The maximum score for the psychosis subscale is 36.

    Time frame: Week 6

Secondary outcomes

  1. CGI-S score

    The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale to assess a patient's overall mental health. The scale ranges from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients)

    Time frame: Week 6
