The Division of Infectious Diseases of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is pleased to offer its Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program in Global HIV Prevention Research as a way to prepare physician, social, behavioral, and professional scientists for academic research careers focused on understanding and preventing HIV disease globally. The program is funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) through a T32 mechanism and supports 2 new fellows each year–one a physician specializing in adult or pediatric infectious diseases, and one a social/behavioral scientist or a graduate with a doctoral degree from a relevant professional field (such as psychology, public health, public policy, sociology, anthropology, biological sciences, etc).

The World Health Organization (WHO) first developed the CIDI in 1990 (http://www3.who.int/cidi/). The CIDI (CIDI V2.1) was an expansion of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule developed by Lee Robins et. al with the support from the National Institute of Health (DIS; Robins, Helzer, Croughan and Ratcliff, 1981.The WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative was created in 1998. Scientists from participating countries from around the world came together to create measurements for risk factors, consequences, treatment, etc.
The following scale was developed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies (Radloff, 1977). This is a short, self-reporting scale intended for the general population. A Spanish version of the scale is also available.
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) is a measure of current mental health and since its development by Goldberg in the 1970s it has been extensively used in different settings and different cultures [1-5]. The questionnaire was originally developed as a 60-item instrument but at present a range of shortened versions of the questionnaire including the GHQ-30, the GHQ-28, the GHQ-20, and the GHQ-12 is available.
These questions are similar to those used in the Medical History Questionnaire developed by the Medical Advisory Systems/MedAire. These questions have been used in various assessments in CCH projects. Assessments will either include all of the questions or a selected portion. These questions do not represent a scale.

The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) was originally developed in 1978 by James F. Fries, MD, and colleagues at Stanford University. It was one of the first self-report functional status (disability) measures and has become the dominant instrument in many disease areas, including arthritis. It is widely used throughout the world and has become a mandated outcome measure for clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis and some other diseases.
