Abstract
Abstract The reliability of DSM-III/DSM-III-R childhood anxiety disorder diagnoses was determined using a new semistructured interview, the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children child and parent versions (ADIS-C and ADIS-P). The interviewer-observer paradigm was used. Pairs of independent clinicians examined 51 outpatients and their mothers and assigned independent primary and secondary diagnoses. Product-moment correlations were calculated between pairs of raters and by computing kappa coefficients, based upon perfect matches on primary diagnoses. Both overlap and differences were evident in the anxiety disorders diagnosed. Agreement between clinicians was moderate to high, with the exception of overanxious disorder. The latter resulted in a low kappa coefficient based upon the child interview data only. Reasons for diagnostic disagreements between the parent and child interviews are discussed.

The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.
