Brief Summary

The DIPS (Diagnostisches Interview bei psychischen Störungen) is a structured interview to assess a variety of the most frequent psychological disorders. Its reliability and validity has been studied in clinical samples. Since structured interviews are also used in non-clinical samples like epidemiological research the investigators would like to conduct a study in a community sample to test the interview's reliability, validity and acceptance.
