The
paper describes a newly developed structured diagnostic
interview that was designed to be used by trained lay
interviewers without clinical experience to generate
valid diagnoses of mental disorders based on both the
ICD-10 and the DSM-IV diagnostic systems. There is
considerable interest in an interview of this sort,
especially as the instrument was developed by experts
who were assembled by the World Health Organization
(WHO) and the instrument is being used throughout the
world in the WHO World Mental Health Survey Initiative.
