Chunk #19 — 4. Discussion

Source
Inter-rater reliability and concurrent validity of DSM-IV opioid dependence in a Hmong isolate using the Thai version of the Semi-Structured Assessment for Drug Dependence and Alcoholism (SSADDA).
Embedded
yes

Text

We cannot rule out the possibility that the concurrent administration of the MINI and the SSADDA in the same setting, and/or the fixed (i.e., non-randomized) order of presentation, might have systematically influenced our findings. For example, prior administration of the MINI might have “primed” participants for subsequent recall of information solicited by the SSADDA, thereby improving the latter’s reliability.
