Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PhQ-9)

  Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9 is a depression measure. PHQ-9 is a self-administered (5 minutes completion time) depression scale, which scores each of the 9 DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV) criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). A PHQ-9 score ≥10 had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 88% for major depression. PHQ-9 scores are summed, and scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 represent mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively. In addition to making criteria-based diagnoses of depressive disorders, the PHQ-9 is also a reliable and valid measure of depression severity. These characteristics plus its brevity make the PHQ-9 a useful clinical and research tool.
