In this article, we describe the collaborative process that is underway to develop measures for the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP). The HiTOP model has generated much interest in the psychiatric literature in recent years, but research applications and clinical translation of the model require measures that are specifically keyed to the model. To that end, the Measures Development Workgroup of HiTOP has been engaged in a collaborative effort to develop both questionnaire and interview methods that (a) are specifically tied to the elements of the HiTOP structure, and (b) provide one means of testing that structure. The work has been divided among five subgroups that are focused on specific HiTOP spectra. Our scale development methods are rooted in the principles of construct valid scale development. This report describes Phase 1 of this project, summarizes the methods and results thus far, and discusses the interplay between measurement and HiTOP model revisions. Finally, we discuss future phases of the scale development and the steps we are taking to improve clinical utility of the final measures.
在本文中，我们描述了目前正在进行的为精神病理学层次分类法（HiTOP）制定测量方法的协作过程。近年来，HiTOP模型在精神病学文献中引起了广泛关注，但该模型的研究应用和临床转化需要专门针对该模型的测量方法。为此，HiTOP测量方法开发工作组一直在进行协作，以开发问卷和访谈方法，这些方法：（a）与HiTOP结构的要素紧密相关；（b）提供一种检验该结构的方法。这项工作已分配给五个专注于特定HiTOP谱系的子组。我们的量表开发方法基于有效构建量表开发的原则。本报告描述了该项目的第一阶段，总结了迄今为止的方法和结果，并讨论了测量与HiTOP模型修订之间的相互作用。最后，我们讨论了量表开发的未来阶段以及为提高最终测量方法的临床实用性而正在采取的步骤。
