| Abstract: | The ability of a novice interviewer utilizing the ADIS to make diagnoses of PTSD in Vietnam veterans with combat experience was tested in a sample of 43 cases. Agreement between ADIS diagnosis and a criterion diagnosis was found in 93.0% of cases (κ = 0.857), suggesting that the diagnostic category can be reliably identified and demonstrating the utility of the ADIS for ascertaining this diagnosis. |
