Abstract

The Composite International Diagnostic Interview, or CIDI, is a fully structured interview that maps the symptoms elicited during the interview onto DSM-IV and ICD-10 diagnostic criteria and reports whether the diagnostic criteria are satisfied--nothing more, nothing less. The inter-rater reliability has been demonstrated to be excellent, the test-retest reliability good, and the validity has been demonstrated to be good, given the methodological constraints. The CIDI is available in lifetime and 12-month versions, and in both paper-and-pencil and computer-administered forms. The latter version is suitable for self-administration in cooperative subjects. The CIDI is available in many languages. It is supported by ten centres around the world, which conduct regular training programmes for interviewers. The training programmes are standardised and the training materials are comprehensive. The data from the CIDI is entered into standard data entry and scoring programmes that give as output the diagnostic criteria satisfied. The interviews, the training materials, and the scoring programmes are copyright by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are supervised by an advisory committee on behalf of WHO. That committee and the training centres welcome enquiries from researchers and clinicians who are interested in using the CIDI.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 November 2023.
All research outputs
#1,497,499
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#268
of 2,715 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,143
of 94,808 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,715 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 94,808 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
