Abstract
Diagnostic interviews for substance use disorders tend to have high reliabi lity among adults. We examined the inter-rater reliability of the substance use disorders section of the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM: us ing 46 male and 25 female adolescent drinkers recruited from community and treatment sources. Inter-rater reliability was high for individual DSM-IV a lcohol symptoms (kappa = 0.84-1.0) and diagnoses (kappa = 0.94), and for ot her substance use disorder diagnoses (kappa = 0.82-1.0).
