Background:

Severe mental illness (SMI) significantly impacts daily functioning and community living.
Accurate assessment of daily living skills is crucial for effective rehabilitation and support.
Existing measures may not adequately capture the nuances of daily activities for SMI populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate the Daily Activities Checklist (DAC) for individuals with severe mental illness.
To establish the feasibility, reliability, and discriminatory validity of the DAC.
To provide a consumer-involved assessment tool for daily living skills.

Main Methods:

Development of the Daily Activities Checklist (DAC).
Administration of the DAC to individuals with severe mental illness living in the community.
Preliminary analysis of feasibility, reliability, and ability to discriminate between working and non-working participants.

Main Results:

Individuals with severe mental illness could accurately complete the DAC assessment.
Preliminary data suggest the DAC is feasible and reliable for this population.
The DAC successfully discriminated between individuals with SMI who were employed and those who were not.

Conclusions:

The Daily Activities Checklist (DAC) is a promising new assessment tool for individuals with severe mental illness.
The DAC facilitates consumer involvement in assessing daily living skills.
The DAC demonstrates potential utility in evaluating functional status and employment status in SMI populations.
