Abstract
ABSTRACT Study Objectives To construct and evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-TR Sleep Disorders – Kid (SCISD-Kid). Method The SCISD-Kid was modeled on the adult SCISD-R and accounted for pediatric developmental and sociocultural factors. Fifty sleep-disturbed children (M age = 11.9, SD = 2.9) and 50 caregivers responded to the final SCISD-Kid. Video recordings were double-scored to evaluate inter-rater reliability. Results The final SCISD-Kid contained approximately 90 questions. Eight of the nine covered disorders had prevalence rates sufficient for analyses for both samples (i.e., k > 2). Inter-rater reliability was examined using Cohen kappa coefficients (κ); reliability estimates ranged from excellent to good. For youth, restless legs syndrome yielded the lowest reliability (.48), while nightmare disorder, narcolepsy, and NREM sleep arousal disorder – sleepwalking type showed the highest reliability (1.00). Across caregivers, NREM sleep arousal disorder – sleep terror type (.49) and hypersomnolence (.54) had the lowest reliability. In contrast, circadian rhythm – delayed sleep phase type, nightmare disorder, and NREM sleep arousal disorder – sleepwalking type showed the highest reliability (1.00). Conclusions The SCISD-Kid is a promising tool for screening sleep disorders. It showed good to excellent reliability across both samples. Next steps for validation will be discussed.
