The Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I or Axis II DSM-IV-TR Disorders (SCID-I or II) is considered the current standard for semi-structured interviews in the field and has been extensively validated for use in clinical and research settings. The World Mental Health-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI) and the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) are also commonly used semi-structured interviews, but the SCID is considered the most psychometrically robust. The Diagnostic Interview for Adolescents & Adults (DIAA) is a specific interview for diagnosing ADHD, and is not generally considered a standard semi-structured interview for other psychiatric disorders.
