Abstract
This study assessed the test-retest reliability of the Child Assessment Schedule (CAS) with 32 psychiatric inpatients whose mean age was 9 years. Ss were interviewed twice, once by each of 2 raters. The average test-retest interval was 5 days. Reliability was examined for presence or absence of diagnosis as well as symptom summary scores for the diagnostic categories
