Screenings with missing answers cannot be scored. A positive score on the Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief Version (PQ-B) suggests the need for further evaluation by a qualified health (M.D., R.N.) or mental health (Ph.D., Psy.D., LCSW) professional who is trained in recognizing the early signs of psychosis. The PQ-B is designed to test for Prodrome or Ultra high-risk of Psychosis and is considered the first step in a two-stage screening process.
