Abstract

Two studies were conducted in a clinical setting on the development and evaluation of a Computer-Assisted Child Diagnostic System (CDS). The CDS uses a computer interpreted parent questionnaire to produce a child psychopathology assessment report that is capable of 40 DSM-III (or III-R) child diagnoses. The present studies of the CDS revealed that the interparent diagnosis reliability, criterion-related validity (clinician agreement with the computer-assisted parent diagnoses) and consumer satisfaction with the system appear to be adequate for outpatient school aged children. These reliability, validity, and consumer satisfaction results were cross-validated on a second sample of outpatient school aged children.
