The interesting article by Weissman et al1 on psychiatric diagnoses, recommending the brief diagnostic interviews for multiple mental disorders, does not contain any specific information about how an ordinary working physician like me can get hold of and start using them. I will write to the authors and chivy them about this; but why is it a general practice, when academic journals in the reviewed literature discuss such a tool as the Symptom-Driven Diagnostic System for Primary Care (SDDS-PC), not to give a clear instruction at the end of the article or in the footnotes on how readers could obtain the instrument?
