What this Trial Is About
This research aims to digitize and automate the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation process for children and adolescents aged 6 to 17. The study focuses on translating, adapting, and validating the Electronic Semi-Structured Psychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (EPSI-C) in Spanish. This tool, based on DSM-5 criteria, is designed to help classify and diagnose mental health conditions in young patients, improving care through innovative digital solutions. The study is observational and part of the DADAP project, involving multiple countries including Sweden, Norway, Spain, and Romania. The Spanish team leads the translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of EPSI-C, and also pilots the feasibility of this tool. The EPSI-C interview uses artificial intelligence to optimize psychiatric assessments across various clinical settings. Participants will undergo psychiatric assessments using the EPSI-C interview at baseline. Researchers will evaluate the content validity, patient acceptability, and feasibility of the tool. The study will collect data on child and adolescent psychiatric assessments, aiming to improve diagnostic processes by integrating new technologies. The involvement includes evaluating the EPSI-C’s usability and diagnostic accuracy during the study period.
