米勒法医症状评估测试（M-FAST）的开发是为了为临床医生提供一个可靠和有效的屏幕伪装的精神疾病。先前的研究已经证明了M-FAST的开发和初步验证。目前的分析扩展了M-FAST在识字状况和种族中的普遍性，并将预测效用与临床意见进行了比较。研究1包括280名男性精神病患者，5名精神科医生和8名心理学家。精神科参与者接受SIRS，M-FAST项目池，M测试和MMPI-2。研究2包括50名男性法医精神病参与者和13名精神卫生专业人员的独立样本。结果提供了证据的普遍性的M-FAST在识字和种族群体。结果还表明，M-FAST产生了更高的分类准确性比M测试和临床意见，显着减少了数量关闭alse阴性在筛选阶段的诈病评估。
The Miller-Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST) was developed to provide clinicians with a reliable and valid screen for malingered mental illness. Previous studies have demonstrated the development and initial validation of the M-FAST. The current analyses extend the M-FAST generalizability across literacy status and race and compare predictive utility with clinical opinion. Study 1 includes a sample of 280 forensic male psychiatric patients, 5 psychiatrists, and 8 psychologists. The psychiatric participants were administered the SIRS, M-FAST item pool, M Test, and MMPI-2. Study 2 includes an independent sample of 50 male forensic psychiatric participants and the 13 mental health professionals. Results provide evidence of generalizability of the M-FAST across literacy and racial groups. Results also indicate that the M-FAST produced higher classification accuracy than the M Test and clinical opinion, significantly reducing the number off alse negatives at the screening stage of malingering assessment.
