The K-SADS-PL was adapted from theK-SADS-P (Present Episode Version), which was developed by William
Chambers, M.D. and Joaquim Puig-Antich, M.D., and later revised by Joaquim Puig-Antich, M.D. and Neal Ryan,
M.D. The K-SADS-PL was written by Joan Kaufman, Ph.D., Boris Birmaher, M.D., David Brent, M.D., Uma Rao,
M.D., and Neal Ryan, M.D. The K-SADS-PL was designed to obtain severity ratings of symptomatology, and assess
currentand lifetime history of psychiatric disorders, including several disorders not surveyed in the K-SADS-P. The
current instrument is greatly indebted to several other existing structured and semi-structured psychiatric instruments
including the K-SADS-E (Orvaschel & Puig-Antich), the SADS-L (Spitzer and Endicott), the SCID (Spitzer, Williams,
Gibbon, and First), the DIS (Robins and Helzer), the ISC(Kovacs), the DICA (Reich, Shayka, and Taibleson), and the
DUSI (Tarter, Laird, Bukstein, and Kaminer). Guidelines for the introductory interview at the beginning of this
instrument were provided by Michael Rutter, M.D. and Philip Graham, M.D., and modifications for the anxiety
disorders section were provided by Cynthia Last, Ph.D. Other consultants include Oscar Bukstein, M.D., Walter Kaye,M.D., David Kolko, Ph.D., Rolf Loeber, Ph.D., William Pelham, Ph.D., David Rosenberg, M.D and John Walkup,
M.D. Appreciation is extended to all contributors, as well as to Denise Carter-Jackson, for the word processing of this
instrument.
