The search for accurate and reliable diagnostic measures has been long, and only partially successful, since significant problems remain with frequent attenuation of symptom reports. The appreciation of cognitive and communication principles associated with the process of structured diagnostic interviewing has lead to renewed efforts to understand the determinants of unreliability and reduce the phenomenon of diagnostic and symptomatic attenuation. This study will systematically examine the nature, sources and correlates of unreliability in repeated measurements of child psychopathology using the Present State Version of the NIMH- DISC. It will investigate the impact of two experimental modifications on the test-retest reliability of the DISC. The sample will be derived from the general population and balanced with regards to age and probable diagnosis of child. Following initial enumeration and recruitment of eligible households via telephone, a brief screen will be given to both the adolescent (aged 9-16) and a parental informant. Screen positives, derived independently from both informants and a proportion of the screen negatives will then be invited to participate in a second stage procedure. This will include a test- retest reliability study of the NIMH-DISC (Present State Version) examining the effect of two modifications to the DISC intended to reduce symptomatic and diagnostic attenuation. A factorial design will enable the impact of a series of graphical aids to symptom recall, as well as the effect of providing a cognitive road map to the interview and allowing subject to choose the order in which diagnostic modules are completed, to be measured. Addition of a detailed discrepancy interview protocol/cognitive interview and associated measurements of factors predictive of unreliability will also enable examination of the determinants of unreliability and a more qualitative assessment of the effects of the experimental interventions.

寻找准确可靠的诊断措施已经很长时间了， 并且只取得了部分成功，因为仍然存在重大问题 症状报告频繁减弱。 认知的欣赏 以及与结构化过程相关的沟通原则 诊断性访谈导致人们重新努力了解 不可靠的决定因素并减少诊断现象 和症状减弱。 本研究将系统地考察 重复测量中不可靠性的性质、来源和相关性 使用当前国家版本的 NIMH- 进行儿童精神病理学研究 光盘。 它将研究两项实验修改的影响 DISC 的重测可靠性。 样本将来自一般人群并与 关于孩子的年龄和可能的诊断。继初始 通过电话查点和招募符合条件的家庭， 将对青少年（9-16 岁）和 家长的线人。筛选阳性结果，独立于两者得出 然后将邀请线人和部分屏幕底片 参加第二阶段程序。 这将包括一个测试—— NIMH-DISC（当前国家版本）的重新测试可靠性研究 检查对 DISC 进行两项修改的效果，旨在减少 症状和诊断减弱。 因子设计将使 一系列图形辅助工具对症状回忆的影响，以及 提供面试认知路线图的效果以及 允许受试者选择诊断模块的顺序 已完成，待测量。 添加详细的差异访谈 协议/认知访谈和相关因素测量 预测不可靠性也将使得能够检查 不可靠性的决定因素和更定性的评估 实验干预的效果。
