Note: Cell entries are kappa estimates, except for the starred (*) variables whose cell entries are intraclass correlation coefficients. Kappa interpretation: 0.76 or greater = excellent; 0.4 to 0.75 = good; 0.39 or less = poor. Intraclass correlation coefficient interpretation: 0.76 or greater = excellent; 0.6 to 0.75 = good; 0.4 to 0.59 = fair; 0.39 or less = low. “A” indicates a DSM-IV abuse criterion. “D” indicates a DSM-IV dependence criterion.
