Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Structured Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (dica-r)

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: This paper examines the convergent validity of the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents - Revised (DICA-R), using the Child Behavior Checklist of T. M. Achenbach as a criterion. The ability of the instrument to detect subjects with psychopathology in the general population is also studied. The study was made through 196 interviews with psychiatric patients and 130 interviews with subjects from schools and Paediatric Services. The results obtained with the DICA-R are comparable with those obtained from other instruments that are widely accepted and considered as valid. The interview is a valid instrument for use in epidemiological research, as it can distinguish correctly between controls and cases
