Collecting epidemiological data from a large community sample has, in the past, been a costly and time-consuming exercise. This paper outlines a methodology for undertaking such research by using a set of standard psychiatric questionnaires, including a computerised version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule Screening Interview on a portable laptop computer. The study of 1009 country South Australian subjects found that this technique provided prevalence estimates similar to those obtained from the more established Diagnostic Interview Schedule, with the added benefit that all interviews were successfully carried out by lay interviewers under minimal supervision, in the subject's home.
过去，从大量社区样本中收集流行病学数据是一项既费钱又耗时的工作。本文概述了一种开展此类研究的方法，即使用一套标准的精神病学调查问卷，包括在便携式笔记本电脑上运行的计算机化诊断访谈表筛查访谈。对1009名南澳大利亚乡村受试者的研究发现，该技术得出的患病率估计值与从更成熟的诊断访谈表中获得的估计值相似，此外还有一个好处是所有访谈均由非专业访谈员在最少监督的情况下在受试者家中成功完成。
