Popis: Aim The aim of this study was to examine the reliability, validity, sensitivity and specificity of the Chinese version of the 16-item Prodromal Questionnaire (CPQ-16) for identifying attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS) in a college population. Methods The participants were recruited from a university. Five hundred seventy-nine students completed the CPQ-16 and the Symptom Checklist-90. One class (n = 79) was randomly selected to be retested with the CPQ-16 after 2 weeks. A randomly selected group of 49 individuals who tested positive and 50 individuals who tested negative were interviewed using the Structured Interview for Prodromal Syndromes (SIPS). Results The internal consistency reliability was good (Cronbach's α = 0.72). The test–retest reliability was 0.88. The total score on the CPQ-16 was moderately to highly correlated with the total score on the Symptom Checklist-90 and all of the subscales (r = 0.39–0.67, P
