The kiddie-schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia (K-SADS) is one of the more popular examples in child psychiatry of a semistructured interview instrument [1,2,4]. It was developed by Puig-Antich and Chambers based on the schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia (SADS) designed for adults [7]. Chambers, Puig-Antich et al. did the first reliability study of the K-SADS-P-II, but this first version of the K-SADS was not fully DSM-III compatible. More recent reviews and research provide evidence that K-SADS is a reliable measure of depression, anxiety, emotional and conduct disorder [8].
