Reliability of the psychosocial axes of DSM-III in an adolescent population

JM Rey, JM Plapp, G Stewart, I Richards and M Bashir
Rivendell Adolescent Unit, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, NSW, Australia.

Three psychosocial variables were rated independently by two clinicians for 140 adolescent referrals to a psychiatric unit. Overall, intraclass correlations for DSM-III Axis IV, Axis V and a psychosocial adversity index (PSAI) were respectively 0.44, 0.58 and 0.68. The main source of unreliability is probably the operational definitions, rather than their application by clinicians; indices similar to the PSAI may be preferable.
