Synthèse systématique des écrits : les instruments d’évaluation de la comorbidité psychiatrique présentée par les adolescent(e)s
This dissertation outlines the results of a systematic review of literature regarding comprehensive assessment of comorbid disorders with adolescents. The SR identified 11 instruments capable of assessing comorbid disorders of DSM-IV’s Axe’s I, including every time substance related disorders. Once those instruments identified, a second review took place to identified research that had put those instruments to the test regarding validity and reliability of diagnostics produced: 57 studies were identified. Their methodological robustness was evaluated with the QUADAS-2 and 47 studies composed the final sample. The results are presented by diagnostics (Substance related disorder (mandatory), Generalized anxiety disorder, Major depressive disorder, Conduct disorder, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Posttraumatic stress disorder) and by instruments. After analyzing the data collected, it appears that it is difficult to compare the instruments to each other, given the great diversity of scales they contain, as well as the various researches’ design when put to the test regarding their validity and reliability. However, two instruments distinguish themselves by the methodological robustness of the studies who have analyzed them and their excellent global result.  They are the ChIPS and the K-SADS.
