Three members from IDRAAC: Aimee Karam Ph.D, John Fayyad MD, and Zeina Mneimneh MPH were recently certified as regional trainers for the Arabic World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health-CIDI (WMH-CIDI) and IDRAAC has become a regional Training and Resource Center for the Arabic CIDI. Training sessions on the use of the Arabic WMH-CIDI are now offered by IDRAAC. These training sessions last between 3-5 days at the end of which trainees will be able to administer the WMH-CIDI (PAPI) form, have access to its data entry program, diagnostic algorithms to generate DSM-IV and ICD-10 diagnoses as well as restricted web pages of the WMH-CIDI instrument.
