• Format of supplements made parallel to format of screen items, such that if threshold level responses are provided to a given symptom, the interview moves on to the next item. Past history of a given symptom is only queried if sub-threshold responses are given to the current item. There are now follow-up questions included in the supplements to determine if there have been multiple episodes of given disorder and if the disorder is current, in partial remission, or full remission. • The probe for the hallucinations item was made more rigorous and requires hallucinatory-like experiences to occur during the day while the youth is going about their daily activities. The majority of false positive self-administered KSADS-COMP psychotic disorder screen positives came from youth who only had these experiences at nighttime before going to bed, with these cases ruled out in the clinician-administered KSADS-COMP. • Additional false positive screens into the psychotic disorders supplement came from youth who reported paranoid ideation. This item has been moved from the screen to the supplement to avoid children with bullying experiences or youth who live in dangerous neighborhoods from unnecessarily screening into the psychotic disorders section. • OCD was another diagnosis that youth screened into the supplement more often with the self-administered KSADS-COMP than the clinician administered KSADS-COMP. To reduce the number of youth entering the OCD supplement unnecessarily the following changes were made: 1) a screen item was added to capture duration of OCD-like symptoms, with sufficient duration (more than half the days of the week) required to meet entry criteria for completing the OCD supplement; and 2) the obsessive thoughts about sex item was removed from the screen as the greatest number of false screen-positives was youth who reported excessive thoughts about sex – a common experience among adolescents. 3) the wording of the initial probe for obsession (1.11.1.q1) was revised to include wording about thoughts being “unwelcome, distressing and senseless” • More youth also were given a diagnosis of a simple phobia with the self-administered KSADS-COMP than with the clinician-administered KSADS-COMP. To alleviate this evidence of impairment associated with the phobia is required to screen positive for a simple phobia diagnosis. • We expanded the psychotic disorders module to include diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform, and other specified psychotic disorder. Previously we had just noted presence of delusions and hallucinations. • We expanded the autism module to provide a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Previously, we just had ‘Other Specified Neurodevelopmental Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, full criteria not assessed”

We branched out a new website NIMHKSADS.
The branching algorithm for the screen interview was changed, so that if threshold level responses are provided to a given symptom, the interview moves on to the next item. Past history of a given symptom is only queried if sub-threshold responses are given to the current item.

New Ksads version for ABCD https://abcdstudy.org/
This DSM V based computerized assessment tool provides a comprehensive and cost-efficient method for obtaining a diagnostic evaluation. The procedural standardization of administration insures comprehensive coverage of all important areas in a nonthreatening, clinically neutral environment. The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children (K-SADS) is the most widely used and well validated diagnostic interview for children and adolescents. The computer-administered KSADS is modeled after the clinician version, and evaluates the same disorders. As with the clinician KSADS, separate computer interviews are conducted for the parent and the child in order to obtain a more comprehensive evaluation. Embedded symptom rating scales provide valid measures of severity in addition to diagnoses. Thus it can be used to monitor treatment progress and document treatment outcomes.
