To assess inter-rater reliability, trained interviewers observed SCIDs conducted by other interviewers for 69 cases. We assessed inter-rater reliability for diagnoses that occurred in three or more cases. Kappa was acceptable in each case: major depressive disorder (κ=.83), social phobia (κ=.65), generalized anxiety disorder (κ=.85), and obsessive compulsive disorder (κ=.85).
