hitop

The goal of the hitop package is to provide an open-source toolkit of functions and resources tailored for the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) community. While the package is currently optimized to support researchers in managing large-scale assessment data, future development will expand its features to support clinical workflows and individual practitioner needs.

Key Features

• Scoring & Utilities: Automated scoring algorithms and data-cleaning functions for multiple instrument variants, including the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5, PID-5-SF, PID-5-BF), the HiTOP Self-Report (HiTOP-SR), the HiTOP Brief Report (HiTOP-BR), and the HiTOP Harmful Substance Use Module (HiTOP-HSUM).
• Instrument Downloads: Direct access to downloadable assessment resources, including standard paper forms, as well as ready-to-import configuration files for popular data collection platforms like Qualtrics and REDCap.
• Comprehensive Metadata: Embedded psychometric metadata, including explicit scale definitions, scoring keys, and item-level text to streamline documentation and reproducible workflows.

Installation

You can install the development version of hitop from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("jmgirard/hitop")
