TL;DR
These data, as well as national statistics, suggest that, compared with non-Indian populations, a greater percentage of Northern Plains adolescents manifest significant psychiatric symptoms which warrant treatment.

The majority of overall prevalence estimates of moderate to severe disorder range from 14 to 20%, and investigations that use multiple methods to define caseness show greatest promise in identifying true cases in community samples.

250 Citations1995Peter S. Jensen
Results support the usefulness of the DISC in further clinical and epidemiologic research; however, closely spaced or repeated DISC interviews may result in significant diagnostic attenuation on retest, and further studies of the test-retest attenuation phenomena are needed.

Although some revision of the instrument will be necessary, the findings from this study suggest that the DISC-R is a promising research instrument for the diagnosis of psychopathology in older children and adolescents.
