Sampling Design:	This will be a population-based survey (n = ± 1,000) in the French (French-speaking) part of the province of Liège (n = ± 1,000,000). The survey will include non-institutionalized subjects aged from 15 years. A stratified probability cluster sample on sex, age and residential municipality will be drawn, taken from the state data base called Belgian Population National Register Data Base. The method will be based on mailed information sent to a wide sample. People would mail back their written agreement to participate. The first 1,000 responses will be used for the sample survey. The respondents will be interviewed face-to-face in their home. The survey will include subjects aged from 15 years. In addition, persons over 45 will complete one instrument designed to detect dementia features: the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (Monsch et al., 1995). The psychosocial adaptation will be evaluated with the Social Adjustment Scale (Weissman & Paykel, 1974) and the quality of life with the SF-36 (Aaronson et al., 1992; McHorney et al., 1993). We will collect any professional treatment received by subjects who show psychiatric disorders.

Sampling Design:	The study is called EDSP (Early Developmental Stages of Psychopathology Study), designed to produce data on the prevalence, risk factors, comorbidity and the course of mental disorders. The EDSP is prospective and includes three waves of investigations in approximately 15 months.
Sample Size:	3021 subjects, aged 14-25 were personally interviewed in wave 1. Data were collected in face-to-face, in-home interviews from a stratified, simple random sample of persons 14-24 years of age from the official population registry living in the greater Munich (rural and city) area. Since the younger age groups were small in the population distribution, persons 14-15 years of age were oversampled. The response rate of wave 1 was 71.1%. Additionally, partial information is available from 4% of subjects, who either did not complete the full interview or were so disturbed that no systematic inquiry could take place for various reasons.

Sampling Design:	In NEMESIS, one national random sample of adults (18-64 yrs) is interviewed three times: baseline in 1996, T1=baseline+12 months, T2=baseline+36 months. The sample is based on a sample of households within a sample of 90 municipalities (a multistage stratified random sampling procedure). Per household, one individual is interviewed (the one who most recently has his/her birthday). Age and severe language problems are the only exclusion criteria. There is no oversampling of certain groups. The CIDI 1.1 auto-version is administered in a face-to-face interview in the homes of the respondents. Each wave covers 11 months (February- December) to control for seasonal fluctuations. Non-responders are asked to fill in the GHQ-12. Measures are taken to catch selected respondents who are temporarily absent (hospital, detention, travel) later in the fieldwork year. Respondents are not paid. Only in cases where the interviewer feels the potential respondent cannot be convinced by arguments, money is offered (the equivalent of $30). For more information, see: Bijl, RV et al. (1998) The Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study (NEMESIS): objectives and design. Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol 33:581-586.
Sample Size:	The baseline net sample size is 7147. Net sample size at T1 is 5618. The third wave is in 1999 (estimated response is 85%).

Sampling Design:	A face-to-face interview with a representative sample of approximately 3,500 respondents will be carried out. We intend to use an ecological method to sample households. This method is based on the assumption that there is a relationship between living areas and socio-demographic characteristics of the population. Therefore, the ecological sampling is a stratum sampling method in which the criteria for the definition of a stratum are based on the characteristics of the place of residence of the individuals in the population: (1) Geographical area: the Jerusalem area, Beer-Sheva and the South, Tel- Aviv and the Central area of the country, Haifa and the North. (2) Type of place of residence (according to the Central Bureau of Statistics): Definition of the type of place of residence is determined by number of residents (large cities, rural villages, etc.). (3) Year of establishment (Before or after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948).  For sampling reasons, all the residential places in the country are divided into stratum that are defined by the interaction of these 3 characteristics. Each of the 4 large cities are considered as individual stratum. Each stratum in the sample is represented by the appropriate proportion of its weight in the population.
Sample Size:	3500

Dr. Kilic is the study director and an advisor to the ministry in the use and training of the CIDI and in the analysis of data and preparing a report of the results. The Ministry has approved Dr. Kilic's membership in the ICPE Consortium.
Sampling Design:	The sample is a multistage, stratified, clustered probability sample. The total population was stratified using two criteria: region and size and type of settlement. 21 out of a total of 79 provinces were selected. Out of each province, district centers and villages were randomly selected and clusters of 20 households were again randomly selected among those selected settlements.
Sample Size:	Total sample size is 4000 households; since we included adults in the study (ages 18 or over), the number of subjects are around 6095. The selection of settlements was based on the national census; for selection of clusters (households) household records kept by the Ministry of Health were used. These records are kept in the primary care units and updated every year, so they are quite sensitive to changes in the population under study.  The interviewers were general practitioners practicing at primary care units in the selected centers. A total of 100 GPs were trained in Ankara in the use of CIDI 1.0 (a revised version of PPGHC version of WHO). The interviews were done face-to-face, at the selected house, interviewing every eligible adult in the household. No exclusion criteria were applied; those younger than 18 and those with serious communication problems (unable to express oneself or understand the questions) were excluded.
Dates of Data Collection:	November 1995 - December 1996
Study Length/Timing:	No additional interviews are planned.
Version of CIDI Used:	WHO-CIDI 1.0. We added sections of social and simple phobia, eating disorders and OCD sections from CIDI 1.1.
Sections:	Somatization, hypochondriasis, neurasthenia, current anxiety, panic/agoraphobia, social phobia, simple phobia, depression, eating disorders, alcohol use, obsessive compulsive disorder, memory.

Sampling Design:	The sampling process was aided by a 1989 household enumeration conducted by Statistic Canada to develop a sampling frame for the Ontario Health Study. We were able to contract with Statistics Canada to draw for us a non-overlapping representative sample of dwellings in the Greater Toronto Area. They developed their sampling frame using a two-stage sampling method. At the first stage, 1986 Census Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected proportional to size (in terms of the number of occupied dwellings). Selected EAs were then enumerated to obtain an up-to-date listing of addresses. A representative sample of addresses selected in proportion to their 1986 census population was provided. Specifically, we began with 3,415 dwelling addresses drawn from 59,518 dwellings contained within 200 enumerated EAs, sampled from a total of 3,088 EAs that comprised the six boroughs of the city of Toronto. Random selection of individuals from within sampled households was achieved utilizing the Kish method.  The population surveyed was defined as all persons 18 to 55 years of age living in their principal residence, who were fluent in English, and physically and mentally capable of responding to the interview. Response rate: wave 1 -- 76%; wave II -- 87%.
Sample Size:	N=1393 (wave II=1206)v

Sampling Design:	This is a household survey restricted to the Mexico City area, excluding the rest of the metropolitan area. The target population were adults aged 18 to 64 years old living permanently or temporarily in private dwellings in the 16 political division areas of the city. The sampling design was polietapic and stratified by sex and availability of mental health services in the political divisions of the city. Two domains were defined based on the existence of mental health services: 8 political divisions with them and 8 without them.  The primary unit for sampling corresponded to the geostatistic basic area (AGEB) defined for the XI General Population and Household Census in 1990. Independently, in each domain 48 AGEBs were selected with proportional probability relative to the size defined as the number of dwellings in each AGEB in accordance to the 1990 census. Finally 96 urban AGEBs were selected.  On the second sampling stage, for each selected AGEB a map showing numbered blocks of houses bounded on every side by a street was obtained; these represented the second unit for sampling within each selected AGEB. Six blocks were selected with equal probability from each AGEB, obtaining a total of 288 for each domain.  A detailed sketch of each selected block was done clearly identifying private dwellings. These were grouped in segments of approximately 7 dwellings as a mean. These segments represented the third unit for sampling. A systematic sampling was carried out in order to select a total of 576 segments in each domain. The selection probability in the third stage results in a self-weighted segment sample within each domain. Also during the raising of the homes questionnaires, a census of all households within each selected segment was carried out; thus the selection probability of each household is equal to the segment obtaining a self-weighted sample within each domain.  The last sampling stage selected one subject in each dwelling looking for an equal number of females and males within the selected dwellings. Values for factor expansion were obtained at the end of the field work.  Also, during the interviews which were done face-to-face at the households by trained lay personnel, whenever the interviewed reported to have children between 4 and 16 years old, information was obtained about all of them; the Report Questionnaire for Children, and selected items from the CBCL-P were asked.
Sample Size:	The sample size estimated to be representative of the population between 18-64 taking into account the correction factor of the design was 384 x 2=768. Nevertheless as precision was established for a 5% error, with parameters between 10% and 25% and 95% level of confidence for the four specific subgroups of the population (males and females, mental health services available or not), the corrected sample size was 3072. Considering 25% rate of non-response, the estimated sample size became around 4000.
Dates of Data Collection:	First phase -- April 10 - May 11, 1995. Second phase -- June 28 - October 31.
Study Length/Timing:	The study is a one-shot survey.

Sampling Design:	Regional sample. The sample was selected on random basis; thus every member of the population has an equal chance of appearing in the sample. The steps of the sampling were as follows: 1. Selection of the neighborhoods or localities to be included in the study. The zones near the Mexican Institute of Psychiatry which fulfilled the selection criteria of economic income were detected through census data. The selected neighborhoods are in Tialpan: Isidro Fabela, San Pedro Martir and Topilejo; in Xochimilco: San Marcos and San Pedro. 2. Within each neighborhood 50 blocks were selected through systematic sampling. The selection was independent for each zone. An average of 6 households per block were selected and one person from 15 to 80 years old from each household was interviewed.

Sampling Design:	Three waves of data were collected on a random sample of adults (ages 18-69 in 1992) living in low-income areas of Puerto Rico. A multistage probability sample was designed to be large enough to permit precise estimates of the prevalence of common mental disorders and the utilization of mental health services. The sampling frame consists of clusters of housing units identified in the Census of Population and Housing Segments, selected from areas identified as poor by the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources. After all eligible adults were enumerated in a household, one was selected using standard Kish Selection methods. The study achieved a 90.6% interview rate, which yielded 3,504 completed interviews at baseline (1992-1993). The next two waves of data collection were based on the 3,504 individuals interviewed in Wave I. The study team also attempted to re-interview 67 individuals who were not contacted in Wave I. In Wave II, a total of 3,263 were re-interviewed, for a response rate of 92.2%, after excluding Wave I loss to follow-up and deaths. In Wave III, a total of 2,928 individuals were re-interviewed. Again those individuals who were not at home or lost in Wave II, along with selected not at homes and lost in Wave I, were targeted for re-interview. This yielded an overall response rate for the three waves of 81.5% after excluding deaths.

The sample design for the study includes two groups of women ages 18-34: a sample of drug purchasers or users in copping areas and a community sample from blocks containing the copping areas. A sample of female drug users were selected from among drug purchasers or users at copping areas (specific points within the communities where drugs are sold and where related services are provided to drug users) in the San Juan Metropolitan Area (775 sq. miles). Since several studies suggest that the lifetime prevalence of drug use among women of the general population seems to be low, 4.8% (Canino et al.,1993), copping areas are places where recruiting female drug users will be more efficient. The identification of copping areas for the selection of women who use crack/cocaine or injecting drugs was based on a sampling frame developed by Robles, Colón and Freeman (1993). This method required the development of controlled lists of specific points within metropolitan San Juan where drugs are sold, such as crack houses, shooting galleries, and spots where needles and other drug equipment can be purchased. A list of 64 copping areas in the inner city low-income communities (public housing and slum areas) of the municipalities of San Juan, Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo, and Trujillo Alto were identified. We randomly selected one copping area without replacement per week for a maximum of 4 to 5 copping areas per month. In cases when the selected areas were impacted by police operations, and because of the threat this represented to our personnel, we randomly selected a different area. The recruitment at each copping area depended on the operational hours that the dealers in these areas worked; it was not a random time or day. This way we were able to recruit the female costumers at these copping areas more conveniently. Ten to twelve entry moments were chosen per month for each copping area. A maximum of 15 women from one copping area were recruited per week. The interview process for Wave I ended with a drug-user sample of 276 participants and an overall response rate of 81.4%. We also obtained a community sample of women (n=443) who were similar in socioeconomic characteristics to the drug users. To achieve this we selected our samples from the blocks containing the copping areas. We selected the census blocks containing the copping areas already identified and prepared a list of all housing units within that block. All housing units in the blocks of the copping areas were listed using standard listing techniques previously used in our studies. At each household, an adult female was contacted and told the purpose of the project. Information about eligible respondents in the household was obtained. Only one woman per household was selected. If there was a household with more than one eligible woman, the Kish (Kish, 1965) random probability selection table was used. Our community sampling design was based on high risk areas. Data was collected by a face-to-face interview.

Sampling Design:	The MHUMA project includes a comprehensive household survey of mental health services utilization patterns and prevalence rates of 15 mental disorders in a sample of N = 4,000 rural and urban Mexican American and Mexican origin adults between 18 and 59 years of age who are residing in Fresno County, California. The study is using a multi-stage, stratified, probability cluster sample which provides complete coverage of the Mexican American and Mexican origin community population of Fresno County (N=667,500). The sample is stratified on place of residence and sex and is being drawn from four strata: urban males (N=500) and females (N=500); town/village males (N=500) and females (N=500); rural males (N=500) and females (N=500); and, seasonally-employed farm migrant males (N=500) and females (N=500).  The study involves face-to-face interviews primarily conducted in the homes of respondents. Data collection is currently underway and will be completed in March, 1997. A preliminary estimate of the designated respondent response rate for the urban stratum is 88%. Since data collection is still underway, response rates for the other strata are unavailable.

Sampling Design:	The American Indian Service Utilization, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Risk and Protective Fractors Project (AI--SUPERPFP) was designed to allow comparisons to the National Comorbidity Study (Kessler, et al., 1995) and represents the first comprehensive psychiatric epidemiology study with well-defined community-based samples of American Indians.  The SUPERPFP sample will be based on tribal enrollment records of two tribal groups in the Western United States (Northern Plains and Southwest). From the tribal enrollment records, random samples of those between the ages of 15 and 54 will be selected for location and interview. Once selected for interview, potential respondents are located and recruited to participate in the interview. The interviews are conducted face-to-face by lay interviewers with computer-assisted interviewing techniques. In addition to the lay interview, approximately 10% of the samples are being reinterviewd using the SCID. The clinical sample is comprised of about 100 with a CIDI diagnosis of alcohol dependence, 100 with PTSD, 100 with depression/dysthymia, and about 100 with no diagnosis but a range of symptoms. Furthermore, approximately 96 are being interviewed by ethnographers to assess the cultural validity to DSM diagnoses and to articulate local idioms of distress and hierarchies of resort.

Sampling Design:	The American Indian Vietnam Veterans Project (AIVVP) was designed as a replication of the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) (Kulka et al., 1990). In the earlier effort, higher rates of PTSD found for Hispanics, and to a lesser degree for Blacks, when compared to Whites led to increased services for Hispanic and Black veterans. AIVVP was part of a congressionally-mandated effort to collect data on other, high risk ethnic minority veterans.  The AIVVP sample was based on tribal enrollment records of four tribes in the Western United States (3 from the Northern Plains and 1 from the Southwest). From the tribal enrollment records, men were located and veteran status was determined. The sample was restricted to: 1) male, 2) tribal members, 3) who served in or around Vietnam between 1964 and 1975 and, 4) who were currently living on or near their reservations. In order to insure sufficient power to make comparisons in PTSD prevalence to the NVVRS, a target sample size for each tribe of 300 was set. In the Northern Plains group this implied that all living male Vietnam theater veterans were to be located and interviewed; in the Southwest the sample of 300 represented between 10% and 15% of eligible theater veterans.  Random samples of living men born between 1930 and 1958 (which, based on the NVVRS, encompasses over 95% of men serving in Vietnam) were selected from the tribal enrollment records. Wherever possible, secondary data sources such as state and regional veteran records were used to identify those most likely to be Vietnam theater veterans- however, veteran status and current locale of residence were determined for every man selected from the rolls. Location rates at this phase were in excess of 90%. Once eligible, veterans were located, and recruitment was initiated by local Vietnam veterans. Once the veteran agreed to participate, a lay interview (with a non-Vietnam veteran) was conducted. The recruitment rate for eligible participants who were successfully located also exceeded 90%, yielding an overall response rate of over 80%.

Sampling Design:	The key features of the sample design include a family study methodology, (incorporating the effects of biological/genetic vulnerability and the role of familial environment in conferring protection or enhancement of vulnerability), a high risk sample (to maximize the probability of incident and prevalent cases of emotional and behavioral problems in children), and a longitudinal component (to elucidate the direction of the effects of risk and protective factors on drug abuse and psychopathology). The sample of 150 probands self- identified as "African American" or "Black," with offspring between the ages of 8 and 17 years, will be recruited from 2 sources: treatment facilities and the community. The total sample will be comprised of 100 African American probands with a lifetime history of substance abuse/dependence, and 50 African American controls (with affective disorder, anxiety disorder, and abuse/dependence). The regional sample sites will be located in the following urban communities in CT: Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New Haven. Affected probands, with alcoholism, drug abuse, and anxiety/affective disorders will be groups targeted for oversampling within the treatment sample. The community sample will be used as the base sample, comprised of 50 cases with alcoholism/drug abuse, and 50 psychiatric and normal controls. This sample will be screened, via household survey, from selected neighborhoods (using census tracts) with sociodemographic characteristics comparable to those of the aggregate group of probands enrolled from the treatment settings. Offspring will also receive a face-to-face interview at the initiation of the study and be followed at 2-year intervals.

Sampling Design:	The first wave of the Chinese American Psychiatric Epidemiological Study (CAPES) was conducted in Los Angeles County census tracts with at least 6% Chinese-Americans, according to the 1990 U.S. census data. Based on this criteria, a total of 36 census tracts were included in the study that ranged from 6 to 72% Chinese-American. Respondents were selected using a multi-stage sampling design. Within each census tract, 6 to 12 logical blocks were randomly selected, and within each eligible household, one eligible member was randomly selected. Eligible respondents ranged in age from 18 through 65. A total of 16,916 households were visited and screened in order to obtain 1,747 completed interviews. The response rate was 82%. Wave 2 consisted of a follow-up survey initiated 15 months after the first interview.
