Reliability of the Brazilian version of the CIDI in a case-control study of risk factors for drug abuse among adults in Rio de Janeiro
Using a test-retest design, the reliability of DSM-III-R diagnoses generated by the Brazilian version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) was evaluated in a sample of 30 subjects. This sample was drawn from first interviews conducted for a case-control study of risk factors for drug abuse among adults in Rio de Janeiro. These findings show the portions of the new CIDI version tested to be sound and appropriate for use in future investigations of adult psychiatric and substance dependence/abuse diagnoses in Brazil.
