Abstract
Four studies on the inter-rater reliability of a proposed Axis V versi on for DSM-IV and of the CGAS involving 162 child and adolescent patie nts and 20 clinicians showed moderate agreement (intraclass correlatio n: 0.53-0.66). This was comparable to previous versions of Axis V, but lower than that reported for the CGAS. More detailed description of a nchor points did not increase reliability nor there were differences i n agreement when rating current or previous functioning.
