Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms been developed to assess the positive and negative aspects of schizophrenia. The Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) is a rating scale to measure negative symptoms in schizophrenia. The scale was developed by Nancy Andreasen and was first published in 1984.
