Background:

The Interview Schedule for Children and Adolescents (ISCA) is a semistructured, symptom-oriented instrument.
Assessing psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents requires reliable and valid tools.
Longitudinal assessment is crucial for understanding developmental psychopathology.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail the development and psychometric evaluation of the ISCA.
To describe the utility of ISCA versions for reevaluation.
To present data on the feasibility of the ISCA for young adults.

Main Methods:

Summarized data on reliability (test-retest, interrater).
Evaluated construct validity and predictive validity of symptom ratings and diagnoses.

Assessed feasibility of the ISCA for young adult populations.

Main Results:

The ISCA demonstrates reliable symptom ratings and diagnoses over time.
Evidence supports the construct and predictive validity of the ISCA.
The ISCA is feasible for use in psychiatric and pediatric medical settings.

Conclusions:

The ISCA and its follow-up versions are valuable clinical instruments.
These tools are effective for research in developmental psychopathology.
The ISCA supports consistent assessment across different populations and time points.
