The movement to a descriptive, symptom-based diagnostic system that started with the DSM-III was in part a response to widespread concerns and criticisms regarding the reliability of psychiatric diagnoses. This fueled an emphasis on increasingly precise operationalization of diagnostic constructs and criteria, based on the assumption that this would produce successive improvements in reliability.
Clinician-administered structured diagnostic interviews were subsequently developed. For example, the Research Diagnostic Criteria were used to develop a Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia1, while the DSM-III criteria were incorporated into the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID)2. In addition, the Diagnostic Interview Schedule3 was developed for use by non-clinician interviewers in epidemiological surveys of mental disorders. These instruments have been widely used in research on mental disorders.
Structured diagnostic interviews have subsequently been developed or adapted for successive revisions of the DSM and the ICD. The SCID, a semi-structured interview – meaning that the interviewer probes unclear responses and makes certain clinical judgments – has been updated with each edition of the DSM4. The briefer and fully structured Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)5 has also been widely employed. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI)6 incorporated both DSM and ICD diagnostic requirements and was used in the National Comorbidity Survey and the World Mental Health Surveys. Similarly, the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN), based on the Present State Examination, assessed for both DSM and ICD requirements7. Structured diagnostic interviews for children have also been developed, as have a range of more focused interviews that cover specific conditions or diagnostic groupings.
Based on an extensive program of field testing, the reliability of the diagnostic guidance provided in the Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Requirements for ICD-11 Mental, Behavioural and Neurodevelopmental Disorders (CDDR)8 was found to be higher than that of other mental disorder classification systems, ranging from moderate to almost perfect according to the specific category. This finding was perhaps counterintuitive, insofar as the CDDR avoid highly prescriptive symptom counts and duration requirements, unless these are specifically supported scientifically, in order to facilitate clinical use.
These results, therefore, challenge the assumed relationship between operational precision and diagnostic reliability. They also suggest that the diagnoses based on the CDDR would be sufficiently reliable for certain types of research projects (e.g., studies focusing on diagnostic groups in health care settings). However, in other types of research, standardized diagnostic assessments are desirable to control clinician-level variability associated with different skill levels, interviewing styles, and clinical judgment. For example, in pharmacological trials that select participants based on certain diagnostic requirements, the ability to document specific symptom patterns reliably and reproducibly is often important.

Another ongoing question is how best to validate an interview undertaken by an experienced clinician. Spitzer proposed using a “longitudinal expert all data (LEAD) standard”9, which is difficult and burdensome to do and still subject to clinician bias. New diagnostic measures are more commonly validated against other measures; for example, results of the lay-administered FLII-11 could be compared to those of the clinician-administered SCII-11, rather than against a measure not based on the ICD-11. The issue of false positives in epidemiological research remains a concern and must be evaluated, but may be ameliorated by training.
Establishing the cross-cultural feasibility and validity of structured diagnostic interviews for the ICD-11 will provide an important foundation for international mental health research.

World Psychiatry is the official journal of the World Psychiatric Association. It aims to disseminate information on significant clinical, service, and research developments in the mental health field.
World Psychiatry is published three times per year and is sent free of charge to psychiatrists.The recipient psychiatrists' names and addresses are provided by WPA member societies and sections.The language used in the journal is designed to be understandable by the majority of mental health professionals worldwide.
