Summary: "The Camberwell Assessment of Need for adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (CANDID) is a needs assessment scale specifically designed for people with intellectual disabilities (previously known as learning disabilities, mental retardation, mental handicap or mental impairment) and mental health problems. The CANDID was developed at what was then known as the Institute of Psychiatry, London (now the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience). It was developed by modification of the Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN), an established needs assessment scale for people with severe and enduring mental illness (Slade 1999). The validity and reliability of the CAN and CANDID have been investigated by Phelan et al (1995) and Xenitidis et al (2000) respectively, and were found to be acceptable. The 1st edition of the CANDID book was published in 2003 by Gaskell, the imprint of the Royal College of Psychiatrists"-- Provided by publisher.
