The DISCOURSE protocol is being used in many projects to collect speech samples from patients with severe mental illnesses. It has been translated into multiple languages and is designed to be user-friendly, culturally adaptable, and clinically versatile. Its standardized structure facilitates data pooling and supports external validation efforts across collaborating sites. This protocol emphasizes simplicity and neutrality, offering a set of procedures that are free from theoretical bias. Its components are mutually exclusive, non-redundant, and practical making it accessible and applicable for a wide range of users.
