DSM-5 Field Trials in the United States and Canada, Part II: Test-Retest Reliability of Selected Categorical Diagnoses

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the test-retest reliability of various categorical diagnoses within clinical settings.
Clinical populations were assessed using conventional clinical interview methods.
Selected diagnoses were tested for reliability during the field trials.
Most diagnoses exhibited good to very good test-retest reliability.
Revised diagnoses that included broader symptoms or a dimensional approach also performed well.

Abstract

Most diagnoses adequately tested had good to very good reliability with these representative clinical populations assessed with usual clinical interview methods. Some diagnoses that were revised to encompass a broader spectrum of symptom expression or had a more dimensional approach tested in the good to very good range.
