*Broad diagnostic clusters
• K-SADS-P = Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present Episode Version (K-SADS-P) [9]. K-SADS-PL = Present and Lifetime version [37].
• DICA = Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children and Adolescents [38]. DICA-C = child version. DICA-P = Parent version [39, 40]. DICA-R = Revised version [41–43].
• CHIPS = Children's Interview for Psychiatric Syndromes [44].
• DISC-1 = Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children [45]. DISC-R 2.1 = second revision [46]. DISC 2.3 = version 2.3 [47]. DISC-IV = version IV [48].
