National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule

Its History, Characteristics, and Validity

Lee N. Robins, PhD; John E. Helzer, MD; Jack Croughan, MD; Kathryn S. Ratcliff, PhD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1981;38(4):381-389.


Abstract

• A new interview schedule allows lay interviewers or clinicians to make psychiatric diagnoses according to DSM-III criteria, Feighner criteria, and Research Diagnostic Criteria. It is being used in a set of epidemiological studies sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health Center for Epidemiological Studies. Its accuracy has been evaluated in a test-retest design comparing independent administrations by psychiatrists and lay interviewers to 216 subjects (inpatients, outpatients, ex-patients, and nonpatients).
