The brief negative symptom scale (BNSS): Sensitivity to treatment effects
2017
Abstract The Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) grew out of a recommendation by the NIMH-sponsored Consensus Development Conference on Negative Symptoms that a scale based on contemporary concepts be developed.

Compared to placebo, the 64 mg group (N = 83) showed a significant decrease in BNSS total score (effect size d [ES] 0.56, p p p p p
