Recent advances in the assessment of disability in schizophrenia have separated the measurement of functional capacity (the ability to perform everyday functioning skills in structured assessments) from real-world functional outcomes. This study examined the similarity of performance-based assessments of everyday functioning, real-world disability, and achievement of milestones in people with schizophrenia in the United States and in Sweden. Samples of schizophrenia patients living in rural areas in Sweden (n=146) and in New York (n=244)) performed the brief version of the UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment (UPSA-B) and a neuropsychological assessment and were rated for functioning by their case managers. Information from records and case managers was used to determine the frequency of living independently, working, and having ever experienced a stable romantic relationship. Performance on the UPSA-B was essentially identical in the two samples (New York, M=13.84; Sweden, M=13.30). So were scores on the case manager ratings of everyday activities (New York: M=49.0; Sweden: M=48.8). The correlations between UPSA-B scores, NP test performance, and SLOF ratings did not differ across the two samples. The proportion of cases who had never had a close relationship and rates of vocational disability were also nearly identical. In contrast, 80% of the Swedish patients and 46% of the New York patients were living independently. Scores on performance-based measures of everyday living skills were very similar in people with schizophrenia across cultures. In contrast, real-world residential outcomes were very different. These data suggest that cultural and social support systems can lead to divergent real-world outcomes in individuals who have evidence of the same levels of ability and potential.
