TAND-SQ validation findings are published

In this paper, we describe the validation of the TAND-SQ Checklist, a self-report quantified checklist for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex – Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TAND). The TAND-SQ contains 33 items that make up seven natural TAND clusters and an eighth cluster reflecting psychosocial difficulties in individuals with TSC and their caregivers. Scores reflecting these clusters were found to be reliable and valid when compared to relevant psychiatric diagnoses and standardised behavioural measures. Findings provide support for the use of the TAND-SQ in clinical decision-making for TAND care and in further research.
