“…For the specific CD section, based on which diagnosis of CD was established, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's a) was .89 for current and .92 for past subsections. Similar to the data from other countries where translations of the K-SADS have been used [Ghanizadeh et al, 2006;Kolaitis et al, 2003;Shanee et al, 1997], these coefficients indicate appropriate internal consistency of K-SADS/CD section items in the Russian version of the instrument. Participants were placed in the CD group if they received DSM-IVdiagnoses for either current or past CD.…”

A number of dopamine-related genes have been implicated in the etiology of violent behavior and conduct problems. Of these genes, the ones that code for the enzymes that influence the turnover of dopamine (DA) have received the most attention. In this study, we investigated 12 genetic polymorphisms in four genes involved with DA functioning (COMT, MAOA and MAOB, and DbH) in 179 incarcerated male Russian adolescents and two groups of matched controls: boys without criminal records referred to by their teachers as (a) ''troubled-behavior-free'' boys, n 5 182; and (b) ''troubled-behavior'' boys, n 5 60. The participants were classified as (1) being incarcerated or not, (2) having the DSM-IV diagnosis of conduct disorder (CD) or not, and (3) having committed violent or nonviolent crimes (for the incarcerated individuals only). The findings indicate that, although no single genetic variant in any of the four genes differentiated individuals in the investigated groups, various linear combinations (i.e., haplotypes) and nonlinear combinations (i.e., interactions between variants within and across genes) of genetic variants resulted in informative and robust classifications for two of the three groupings. These combinations of genetic variants differentiated individuals in incarceration vs. nonincarcerated and CD vs. no-CD groups; no informative combinations were established consistently for the grouping by crime within the incarcerated individuals. This study underscores the importance of considering multiple rather than single markers within candidate genes and their additive and interactive combinations, both with themselves and with nongenetic indicators, while attempting to understand the genetic background of such complex behaviors as serious conduct problems.

“…A pilot inter-rater reliability study of K-SADS-P for Greek children and adolescents showed that the Kappa statistic of the diagnosis for depressive disorders was 0.90 and inter-rater reliability of assessment of anxiety symptoms was lower ( r = 0.59) than that for depressive disorders. The Kappa for conduct disorders was also high (κ = 0.90) [8]. …”

Psychometric properties of the Farsi translation of the kiddie schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia-present and lifetime version

Background: Semi-structural clinical interviews are very important in the area of mental health research and services. There were no studies of the reliability and validity of the Farsi (Persian) version of Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) in Iran. This study compares the results of face-to-face, semi-structural interview and clinical interview by a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

“…This statement does not imply that the cutoff point of 15 is indicative for presence or absence of a depressive disorder, but merely suggests a high probability of serious levels of depressive symptoms that need to be further evaluated mainly through validated structured diagnostic interviews for mood disorders, although there is a relative lack of instruments with appropriate psychometric properties reported in Greece [29].…”
