If you have other questions, please contact Liza Chase at CIDI-Training@isr.umich.edu or (734)647-2112.

The next English language WHO-CIDI training workshop is February 5-8, 2013 in Ann Arbor, MI.

The cost for training is $3,000 per participant, with a discount for multiple participants from the same organization. Travel and lodging costs are not included. Training includes home-study training materials and 3 days of classroom training. In addition, participants will be expected to complete approximately 30 hours of home study.

CIDI training is provided for people who want to use the CIDI to carry out data collections. There is no relationship between CIDI training and access to any datasets that might have used the CIDI in the past. If researchers have an independent relationship with a research group that has previously carried out a CIDI survey and are being provided access to those data, that is a matter between the individuals involved.

The CIDI Training Center does not provide overview training in the CIDI for people who are only interested in secondary analysis. All training assumes that the trainee is being trained to conduct data collection using the CIDI questionnaire. Secondary analysts will still find the training useful, but must recognize that they will be required to participate in the exercises that involve practice interviewing and other aspects of training that assume that data collection is the goal of training.

The National Institute of Psychiatry in Mexico City offers a Spanish language training.
