Detailed Description

The Kinder-eDIPS is a digital version of the Kinder-DIPS (Diagnostisches Interview bei Psychischen Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter), a structured interview to assess a variety of the most frequent psychological disorders in children and adolescents. The interview is administered by trained clinicians with children/adolescents and one of their primary carers. The reliability, validity and acceptance of former versions of the Kinder-DIPS (Kinder-DIPS for DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and DSM-III) have been studied.
