Of these, 649 patients (87.2%) completed the MINI diagnostic interview.
For the main diagnostic assessment use of a structured diagnostic interview is advised, such as the Conners Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV (CAADID) [ 221].
Finally, we examined inter-rater reliability across main diagnostic areas surveyed in the screen interview, in order to estimate agreement in utilization of skip-out criteria.
The main outcome was any Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) diagnosis of Depression or Anxiety or Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood, Anxiety, or Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood in the first six months postpartum.
For example, Muris et al. (2000b) explored the severity of children's main fear by means of a structured diagnostic interview for measuring phobias and anxiety disorders in terms of the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association 1994).
Twelve month anxiety-depression diagnoses were the main outcome measures, derived from the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), supplemented by an indigenously derived measure - the Phan Vietnamese Psychiatric Scale (PVPS) in both Vietnamese groups.
The main limitation was the lack of use of a structured diagnostic interview, precluding analysis of formal psychiatric diagnoses of subjects in need of further treatment.
The main limitation of the present study is that we were unable to use a structured diagnostic interview for all patients and thus could not include the DSM-diagnoses as possible risk factors.
The primary dependent variable was depression based on the Structured Clinical Diagnostic Interview (SCID).
The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the concurrent and discriminant validity of a simplified, relatively brief, structured, diagnostic interview closely linked to the defining features of ASDs in the DSM (see Table 1).
