Reliability of DSM-III-R Anxiety Disorder Categories: Using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule—Revised (ADIS-R)

Di Nardo, Peter A.·1993·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

A large reliability study of DSM-III-R anxiety disorders is reported in which outpatients (n = 267) received two independent structured interviews (Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule-Revised). It is the only reliability study to date in which the final DSM-III-R criteria are used throughout the study. Reliability was assessed for each diagnosis when it was assigned as a principal diagnosis and when it was assigned as either a principal or an additional diagnosis. Excellent reliability was obtained for current principal diagnoses of simple phobia, social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Agreement was good for panic disorder when all severity levels of agoraphobic avoidance were combined. Reliability was fair for generalized anxiety disorder. Remaining diagnostic difficulties, particularly in identifying levels of agoraphobic avoidance and in reliably diagnosing generalized anxiety disorder, are discussed in the context of changes in diagnostic criteria that are under consideration for DSM-IV.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The Anxiety Diagnostic Interview Schedule IV has adequate psychometric properties, with inter-rater reliability ranging from satisfactory to excellent when used by expert clinicians familiar with DSM diagnostic criteria.

    “The ADIS-IV has shown adequate psychometric properties according to Antony, Orsillo, and Roemer [62], with an inter-rater reliability ranging from satisfactory to excellent when used by expert clinicians familiar with the DSM diagnostic criteria [63].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
