Validity of the Swedish SCID and ADDIS diagnostic interviews for substance use disorders: sensitivity and specificity compared with a LEAD golden standard.

Abstract

The study explores agreement on diagnoses and diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders between two structured assessment interviews, the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID) and the Alkohol/Drog Diagnos InStrument (ADDIS). Both interviews are compared with a golden standard (GS), based on a LEAD model (Longitudinal, Expert, All Data).
