| dc.description.abstract | The feasibility, reliability, and acceptance of the Amharic version of the CIDI (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) was tested in Addis Ababa city using clinician and non clinician interviewers. In the first part of the study total of 64 subjects from three different sources (community, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient) were interviewed. The CIDI was judged to be acceptable by most clinician and non clinician interviewers. The few concerns about it include, the length of the interview and difficulties with a few of the items. For specific diagnoses made with frequency of five or more time, percent agreement and kappa ranged from 92.5%-100% and 0.78-0.92, respectively. The second part of the study determined the life time prevalence of specific DSM-III-R disorders using the Amharic CIDI modified after the reliability study, 502 community subjects selected from Arada district by systematic random sampling were interviewed. The most frequent specific diagnoses found were; Organic brain syndrome mil,d (14.1%), severe (4.4%), Agoraphobia without history of panic disorder (3.0%) and dysthymia (3.0%). The very high rate found for organic brain syndrome, compared to other studies, made the reliability of the eIDI for that diagnoses questionable. It is concluded that the Amharic version of eIDI is reliable, acceptable, and feasible for use in the country. Thus similar studies using CIOI with a better designs are recommended. | en_US |
