Description
The Moss-PAS (Diag ID) is semi-structured clinical interview with separate sets of questions for patients and informants. It is primarily designed for people who have enough language to give at least some verbal contribution to an interview, but can also be used as an informant-only interview. It has been developed from the well-known PAS-ADD 10 psychiatric interview and PAS-ADD Clinical Interview, but has been completely updated and re-designed on the basis of more than twenty five years’ experience of training users around the world.
The Moss-PAS (Diag ID) is probably the most sophisticated patient interview that is globally available for people with intellectual disability, and for those who have limited language skills. It is also suited to research studies, and for any routine clinical assessment requiring a precise evaluation of symptoms.
The interview produces criterion-by-criterion diagnoses under both ICD 11 and DSM-5. The score form has been designed to make it clear, not just the criteria that have been fulfilled, but also those that are close to it. This makes the process of clinical interpretation easier, and based on firm clear evidence.

The Moss Psychiatric Assessment Schedules
The Moss Psychiatric Assessment Schedules (MPAS) are the successors to the well known PASADD system. The original Psychiatric Assessment Schedule for Adults with Developmental Disabilities was developed to provide improved patient interviewing for adults with intellectual disability, and over the years the name became synonymous with mental health assessment in people with intellectual disability. Since those early days, the author has continued to develop new assessments, and to train several thousand people in their use round the world. The insight and feedback from these users has enabled ongoing refinement of the questions, and improvements in the descriptions of symptoms in various levels of severity. The result of this 30 years of development is a set of assessments of unparalleled quality and ease of use. The series now includes versions for adults and children, both with intellectual disability, and of normal developmental level. Coming soon will be an expert interview designed specifically for forensic use.
