NetSCID-5

The NetSCID-5 is an online version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5, developed and marketed in consultation with the SCID-5 authors by TeleSage, Inc. in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[1]*

NetSCID-5 is offered as an online service with user accounts and payment per-administration. Diagnoses and response data are made available in the form of reports and raw data download.

TeleSage currently offers the NetSCID-5 in Research, Clinician, and Personality Disorders versions. The content (e.g. text, branching and scoring) of each of these instruments is intended to match the corresponding paper version.

Initial development was funded by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. Public availability was announced June 30, 2017.[2]

Acceptance

The NetSCID-5 has been used in clinical studies, such as:

  • Lithium treatment for bipolar disorder vs healthy subjects[3]
  • Comorbidities with emetophobia[4]
  • Heart failure multimorbidities[5]

Training on the use of the NetSCID-5 has been offered by independent organizations.[6] Experience with NetSCID-5 has been listed as a qualification in job postings.[7]

Computerized versions of mental health interviews has been suggested by some research to result in fewer branching and scoring errors compared to pencil-and-paper versions of the same instruments.[8]

Competitors

An electronic versions of the SCID-5 instrument is also offered with eInterview from Sunilion Software[9][10].
