The Revised Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC-R) shows moderate agreement with clinician diagnoses, but the validation interview

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Psychometric Validation
  • Mental Health Assessment

Background:

  • The Revised Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC-R) is a structured, lay-administered instrument for community-based mental health studies.
  • Validating diagnostic instruments is crucial for reliable mental health assessments in children and adolescents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the concurrent criterion validity of the DISC-R.
  • To evaluate the DISC-R's performance against a clinical interview under controlled conditions.

Main Methods:

  • The DISC-R was compared to a semistructured clinical interview.
  • Both instruments used similar information bases and DSM-III-R-based computerized diagnostic algorithms.
  • Participants included 74 child and adolescent clinic attendees and their custodians.

Main Results:

  • Moderate agreement was observed between DISC-R and clinician-generated diagnoses.
  • The validation interview demonstrated lower reliability compared to the DISC-R.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary support exists for the DISC-R's utility in community studies.
  • Findings question the adequacy of clinician diagnoses as sole validation criteria.
  • Alternative validation approaches are recommended for future research.
