The CCAPS is a multi-dimensional, psychometric instrument designed to assess mental health in college students. Current norms are based on 22,060 students seeking treatment in the fall of 2008. The CCAPS is currently available in two lengths. The CCAPS-62 with has eight subscales (Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Academic Distress, Eating Concerns, Family Distress, Hostility, Substance Use)
and is typically used for initial assessments or an intake/termination comparison. The CCAPS-34 is a direct subset of the CCAPS-62, does not have a Family Distress subscale, and the Substance Use becomes Alcohol Use.
The CCAPS family of instruments is managed by the Center for the Study of Collegiate Mental Health (CSCMH). All college or university counseling centers may use CCAPS instruments for free and without explicit permission. Counseling centers can access the instruments within Titanium Schedule (including automated scoring and profile report generation) or by contacting CSCMH. Non-counseling center entities should contact CSCMH to learn about current distribution policies.
