Thank you for your inquiry about the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment (PAPA) by Helen Link Egger, MD; Barbara Ascher, MA; and Adrian Angold, MRCPsych.

DESCRIPTION: The Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment(PAPA) is a parent report-only assessment focused on children aged 2 to 5. Derived from the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment(CAPA), it is tailored to feelings and behaviors pertinent to young children. Recently, a web-based version of the PAPA, the ePAPA, was created. The ePAPA is a new tool for administering the PAPA. The ePAPA makes it easier to change the content of the PAPA, to correct the measure, and to create new versions of the PAPA. The ePAPA is capable of generating a word document that is an exact replica of its contents.

Information on the PAPA available in PDF format. Download information here.

THE PAPA PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• A copy of the Print Version of the ePAPA

• A copy of the PAPA Glossary

• Three published papers pertinent to the PAPA

TO OBTAIN YOUR PAPA PACKAGE: The PAPA Package is available free of charge. Please email Letitia Huger with your name, institution, and full mailing adress.The Print Version of the ePAPA will be emailed to you as a PDF file upon receipt of request information.
