    The Iowa Structured Psychiatric Interview (ISPI) is a reliable tool for psychiatric epidemiological research. Its screening questions for schizophrenia, mania, depression, and neurosis demonstrate excellent reliability for large-scale field studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • The Iowa Structured Psychiatric Interview (ISPI) is a comprehensive tool for psychiatric epidemiological research.
    • It gathers detailed psychiatric, social, and family history, including symptom frequency and duration for major disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the rationale and formative history of the ISPI.
    • To investigate the reliability and validity of the ISPI's screening questions for major psychiatric conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and testing of a set of 20 screening questions for schizophrenia, mania, depression, and neurosis.
    • Assessment of the reliability of these screening items and a set of behavior ratings.
    • The ISPI instrument, guidelines, and training suggestions are provided in an appendix.

    Main Results:

    • The 20 screening questions forming the ISPI nucleus demonstrated excellent reliability.
    • A set of behavior ratings included in the ISPI showed relatively poor reliability.
    • The ISPI is designed for administration by trained nonmedical personnel blinded to study status.

    Conclusions:

    • The ISPI's screening questions offer a reliable method for psychiatric epidemiological research.
    • The instrument facilitates large-scale field studies by enabling trained nonmedical personnel to collect data.
    • Further testing of the ISPI by other researchers in psychiatric epidemiology is encouraged.
