Testimonials
“Everything was nicely done on-line. It would be especially useful for newer raters.”
“This was the most useful and comprehensive training I have received to date.”
“I especially appreciated the guidelines that were provided.”
The course was developed with research funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (Grant #N43MH12049) to improve inter-rater rater reliability on the HAMD and to facilitate dissemination and quality of HAMD training. Results from a 22-center phase II depression trial found the tutorial significantly improved trainees’ knowledge on the administration and scoring of the HAMD, with high levels of user satisfaction.
