Abstract
This study examined the inter-rater reliability of the Crichton Geriatric Behavioural Rating Scale. On consecutive days, two raters interviewed each of the carers of 47 demented subjects. Inter-rater reliability was determined by calculation of the correlation coefficient (r) for individual item scores of interviewers as well as for the total scale score. Most item correlations were acceptably high. The inter-rater reliability of the total scale score was 0.81.Keywords
