Clinical Translation Workgroup

Scope

Workgroup charge is to (1) establish feasibility and utility of dimensional assessment in the clinic in general, (2) tailor HiTOP-based measures for clinical practice, resulting in a clinical battery and a computer-assisted version, and (3) disseminate the model and measurement package to clinicians via publications in academic and non-academic outlets, presentations, workshops, and other appropriate formats.
