A high prevalence of personality disorders (53%) was found. The most frequent diagnoses were avoidant personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Interrater reliability (p$$ .05) was achieved among three independent raters for all 12 Axis II diagnoses, as well as for 99% of the individual SCID-II criterion items. This represents the first published data on interrater reliability for the SCID-II.
