abstract = {Backgrounds and objectives: Personality disorders (PDs) are an essential public health problem
being frequently underdiagnosed in the mental health (MH) services.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed in patients attending a community mental
health care out-patient clinic. The Standardised Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale
(SAPAS) was administered to 59 consecutively agreeing to take part. SAPAS factorial structure
was analyzed utilizing principal component analysis with calculation of Cronbach’s ˛ to check for
internal consistency. Subsequently, SAPAS criterion validity was established comparing it with
the Spanish version of the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) by performing
a ROC curve to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for
different cut-off points. Finally, correlations were estimated between the SAPAS scores and
dimensional scores for the different IPDE PD types.
Results: Three factors were achieved, each one closely related to the three DSM-5 PD groups
(A---C) explaining 64.1% of total variance in the model. SAPAS internal consistency measured with
Cronbach’s ˛ was 0.66. The area under the curve (AUC) was found to be 0.89. A cut-off point
of 5 showed 84% sensitivity and 79% specificity, correctly classifying 81.5% of the individuals.
Conclusions: SAPAS is a valid and reliable PD screening instrument in patients attending com-
munity mental health settings.},
