K-SADS-E (Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Epidemiologic Version)是半結構式精神科診斷性會談工具，修訂自情感疾患與思覺失調症量表SADS (Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia)，增加兒童青少年精神疾患的內容，主要加入好發於兒童時期的注意力不足過動症、對立反抗症、行為規範障礙症及妥瑞氏症。K-SADS-E 的診斷性會談針對每個症狀下，有數個訪題協助會談，以確定症狀是否存在。會談開始獲得基本資料（見第vi 頁）及開場後，首先進行核心症狀的篩檢問題，若達篩檢標準即進入個別疾病的完整版會談，分別問最嚴重時，以及最近六個月的情形，可以系統化評估兒童青少年過去和現在的精神疾患，再依照診斷準則完成個別精神疾病的診斷。可以直接訪談兒童青少年本人，或訪談父母或其他主要照顧者有關孩子的情形，較嚴謹的診斷會談，會整合訪談受試者本人及其照顧者的資料。美國耶魯大學流行病學研究所Kathleen Ries Merikangas 教授，於1991 年授權K-SADS-E 英文版(1/1990) 給宋維村醫師所領導的修訂小組團隊，經過多次翻譯並考量臺灣的文化特質、語言、適用性，而完成第一版中文版K-SADS-E (DSM III-R)，也開始使用於國內的研究(Gau & Soong, 1999)。因應DSM-IV診斷準則的發表和使用於國內流行病學及臨床研究，以及高淑芬醫師的注意力不足過動症臨床神經心理學研究，因此在整合ICD-10 和DSM-IV 診斷準則，並參考鄭泰安醫師用於青少年流行病學研究的修訂版K-SADS-E物質使用部分，而修改成K-SADS-E中文1998 年版(Gau et al., 2005)。高淑芬醫師於1998-2001 年耶魯的博士研究期間，在Kathleen R. Merikangas 教授的指導下多次討論修訂K-SADS-E for DSM-IV 的中、英文版，並於2005 年再次獲得她的授權，全面修訂成中文版K-SADS-E (DSM-IV)版本。高淑芬醫師自2001 年回國以來，應用此整合性DSM-IV 版本在所有研究，並已發表超過百篇以中文版K-SAD
