The goals of the study were to examine test-retest reliability, informant agreement and convergent and discriminant validity of nine DSM-IV-TR psychiatric disorders classified by parent and youth versions of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID). Using samples drawn from the general population and child mental health outpatient clinics, 283 youth aged 9 to 18 years and their parents separately completed the MINI-KID with trained lay interviewers on two occasions 7 to 14 days apart. Test-retest reliability estimates based on kappa (κ) went from 0.33 to 0.79 across disorders, samples and informants. Parent-youth agreement on disorders was low (average κ = 0.20). Confirmatory factor analysis provided evidence supporting convergent and discriminant validity. The MINI-KID disorder classifications yielded estimates of test-retest reliability and validity comparable to other standardized diagnostic interviews in both general population and clinic samples. These findings, in addition to the brevity and low administration cost, make the MINI-KID a good candidate for use in epidemiological research and clinical practice. (PsycINFO Database Record
这项研究的目的是检验由父母和青少年版儿童青少年国际神经精神访谈（MINI-KID）诊断的九种 DSM-IV-TR 精神障碍的重测信度、信息提供者一致性以及会聚和判别效度。该研究使用来自普通人群和儿童心理健康门诊的样本，283 名 9 至 18 岁的青年及其父母分别由经过培训的非专业访谈者在相隔 7 至 14 天的两次访谈中完成 MINI-KID。基于κ（κ）的重测信度估计值在各障碍、样本和信息提供者之间从 0.33 到 0.79 不等。父母和青少年对障碍的一致性较低（平均κ=0.20）。验证性因素分析提供了支持会聚和判别效度的证据。MINI-KID 障碍分类在普通人群和诊所样本中与其他标准化诊断访谈的重测信度和效度相当。除了简短和低管理成本之外，这些发现使 MINI-KID 成为在流行病学研究和临床实践中使用的良好候选者。
