Why these interviews?
We study health experiences in context: symptoms, everyday functioning, changes over time and family links. The experiences of patients and research subjects from the general population contribute to this work.
Ad-Infer
Ad-Infer conducts structured interviews using clinical knowledge. Responses guide the next questions. It can interview the participant, a family member with or without the condition, or support responses entered with help from a third party.
Developed by Maurice M. Ohayon beginning in 1987, Ad-Infer brings together clinical knowledge, inferential reasoning and integrated language functions. MM Ohayon personally holds all rights in Ad-Infer and its associated intellectual property. EVALRI holds no ownership rights in Ad-Infer.
