CI = Confidence interval; ICC = Intraclass Correlation Coefficient.

a

Total number of DSM-5 substance use disorder criteria endorsed (of possible 11, except hallucinogens, which do not include withdrawal).

b

Total number of DSM-IV substance dependence criteria endorsed (of possible 7, except cannabis and hallucinogens, which did not include withdrawal).

c

Mean kappa from 100 bootstrapped samples, with empirical CI

d

Mean difference calculated as the mean of ([DSM-5 κ] - [DSM-IV κ]) in each of the 100 bootstrapped samples, with empirical CI.

CI that do not include 0 indicate a significant greater κ for DSM-5 substance use disorder and are bolded.

e

Mean ICC from 100 bootstrapped samples, with empirical CI

f

Mean difference is calculated as the mean of ([DSM-5 severity ICC] – [DSM-IV severity ICC]) in each of the 100 bootstrapped samples, with empirical CI.

CI that do not include 0 indicate a significantly greater ICC for DSM-5 severity, and are bolded.

g

Current hallucinogens not included because prevalence of DSM-IV hallucinogen dependence was <2% in the test and retest interviews. Interpretation of reliability coefficients: Fair: 0.21–0.40; moderate: 0.41–0.60; substantial: 0.61–0.80; excellent: 0.81–1.00.
