Which of the following is NOT included in the DSM-5?

  1. World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS)

  2. Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF)

  3. Cultural Formulation Interview Guide (CFI)

  4. ICD-10 Codes

The correct answer is: Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF)

The Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) was included in previous versions of the DSM, but was removed from the DSM-5. It was deemed too vague and subjective and was replaced with a more specific and reliable assessment tool called the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS). Both the Cultural Formulation Interview Guide (CFI) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes are included in the DSM-5.
