Training |
Relevant professional training is a must as well as with experience performing unstructured, open-ended question, diagnostic evaluation However, for the purposes of some research studies, non-clinician research assistants, who have extensive experience with the study population in question, and who have demonstrated competence, have been trained to use the SCID.
Training depends on the clinical experience and specific education of the potential interviewer. |
