The concordance between the AUDADIS-IV and K-CIDI 2.1 DSM-IV alcohol use disorder diagnoses and criteria were fair to good (kappa > 0.67) in an international survey conducted under the auspices of the World Health Organization/National Institute of Health Joint Project on Diagnosis and Classification (Cottler et al., 1997; Ustun et al., 1997). Within the context of this international study, the reliability and validity of the AUDADIS-IV and CIDI 2.1 were fair to good (Chatterji et al., 1997; Hasin et al., 1997; Pull et al., 1997).
