Observer forms for adults

What are the Observer Forms? If I do not have anyone to complete the Observer Forms, can I still complete screening?

• If you are an Adult and participating in diagnostic screening at RCBM, you will be asked to provide the name and email address for an “Observer” on the Screening Contract form.
• Observer Data is collected from one person in an Adult patient’s life who knows them well. This person is referred to as an “Observer” and is usually a partner, roommate, parent, or close friend.
• The “Observer” completed one short assessment about the Adult patient’s recent behavior and functioning.
• It is highly recommended that all Adults completing the Screening provide the name and email address of an “Observer.” This allows your clinician to look for patterns across reports (you and the observer) in the screening data and can aid in obtaining an accurate diagnosis.
• Please let your psychometrician know if you did not provide an Observer’s contact information on the Screening contract, but would like to do so now.
