The test-retest reliability and screening efficiency of DISC Predictive Scales-version 4.32 (DPS-4.32) with Chinese children/youths

摘要: The DISC Predictive Scales-4.32 (DPS-4.32) were short-forms of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV (DISC-IV). psychometric properties DPS-4.32 tested on two Chinese samples: a clinic sample 83 children/youths, and community 541 youths. Both Parent Youth exhibited good-to-excellent test-retest reliability. Their screening efficiency was examined respectively against DSM-IV diagnoses full-length DISC-IV. Results indicated large AUCs (Area under Receiver—Operating Charateristic Curve), as well high sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive values, supporting capability to differentiate cases from noncases. held promise efficient DISC-IV, diagnoses. They also applicable population, demonstrating their cross-cultural applicability.
