Objectives: We aimed to test the validity and reliability of the WHO schedules for clinical assessment in Neuropsychiatry (scan-thai version): Mood Disorders section. Method: First, the linguistic clarity of the psychiatric schedules for Thais from the country's four regions was tested by psychiatrists competent in the use of the schedules and their underlying objectives. Then between october 2003 and August 2004, Reliability of scan:mood disorders section was tested among 30 participants, including mood disordered patients and normal volunteers. Results: Based on reactions from Thais and consultations from competent psychiatrists, content validity was established. The duration of interviews for the mood disorder sections averaged 63.6 min (SD=17.1). The inter- and intra-rater reliability kappa were 0.80(0.77-0.83) and 0.86 (0.84-0.88), respectively. The reliability of the majority of items reached substantial to almost perfect agreement; however, 1 item (1%) had only slight agreement and 15 (12%) had moderate agreement, and needed clarification of the scoring method. Conclusion: The Mood Disorders sections of the WHO Neuropsychiatry schedules for clinical Assessment (scan-thai version) were an effective tool for diagnosing mood disorders among Thais.
