Because the PRISM is specifically focused on co-morbidity, it is organized differently from other diagnostic interviews. The alcohol and drug sections of the PRISM appear near the beginning of the interview, before the mental disorder sections. This is so you will have the history of alcohol and drug use by the time you begin to assess mental disorders. The PRISM provides specific probes and guidelines.

Use of the PRISM has the potential to increase reliability and validity because of the following features: Introduction of specific rating guidelines throughout the interview, including frequency and duration requirements, exclusion specifications, and decision rules for frequently encountered sources of uncertainty. Separation of dissimilar components of individual criteria into different items, to ensure that interviewers assess all components, and to allow for simplified rating guidelines.

Data are collected through face-to-face interviews with subjects and coded on the PRISM booklet. The interview takes approximately two hours to administer, and is easily adapted for specific research purposes. The PRISM is a contingency questionnaire, routing interviewers to relevant questions depending on subject responses. Therefore, although the instrument allows for the investigation of many variables, only a subset of PRISM questions is administered to any single subject.

A certified PRISM interviewer with clinical experience working with patients with dual-diagnosis and experience with PRISM administration can review interviews for accurate PRISM diagnosis, with periodic consensus coding to guard against interviewer drift.
