Abstract
Background
The Diagnostic Interview for Anxiety, Mood, and OCD and Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Child and Adolescent Version (DIAMOND-KID) is a DSM-5-based semi-structured diagnostic interview for the assessment of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years. Despite its broad diagnostic coverage, evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the DIAMOND-KID across different cultural and linguistic contexts remains limited. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the DIAMOND-KID in a clinical sample.Methods
A total of 195 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years were administered the DIAMOND-KID and an independent clinical interview. Interrater and test-retest reliability analyses were conducted in subsamples of 22 and 51 participants, respectively. Participants and their parents/caregivers completed self-report measures assessing symptoms related to the disorders evaluated within the DIAMOND-KID. Diagnostic agreement was evaluated using Cohen's kappa coefficient.Results
Agreement between the DIAMOND-KID and clinical interview diagnoses, evaluated across diagnostic categories with sufficient case numbers, ranged from good to excellent (κ = 0.61-0.93). Interrater reliability ranged from fair to excellent, while test-retest reliability ranged from good to excellent (κ = 0.70-1.00). Effect sizes obtained from comparisons of self-report measures related to current diagnoses were generally large.Conclusions
The findings support the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the DIAMOND-KID for assessing a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in Türkiye.
