Abstract

Efforts to improve everyday living skills are important in schizophrenia. What constitutes appropriate functioning is however difficult to evaluate. Several instruments were tested in different settings throughout Europe (EGOFORS initiative), including two new questionnaires (FROGS, PSRS), to provide directions on domains to be assessed and tools to be used.
