ESEMeD is a cross-sectional study in which 21,425 non-institutionalised adults were interviewed across six European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. The 90-minute interviews were based on the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short From Health Survey and the EuroQuol 5D sections of the World Health Organisation Disablement Assessment Schedule II. The CIDI is a comprehensive, fully standardized interview that can be used to assess mental disorders according to the definitions and criteria of ICD-10 and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- Fourth Addition. A revised version, CIDI 3.0 is being used by the World Mental Health Surveys.
