Comorbidity between CIDI diagnoses was found more than four times as often in the concordant cases (cases agreed upon by both instruments) than in the discordant CIDI cases. Only 46% of the present CIDI diagnoses were predicted by the HSCL-25. In a Norwegian two-stage survey mental health problems were measured by the HSCL-25 and the CIDI.
