Assessing Depression in Primary Medical and Psychiatric Practices

Schulberg, Herbert C.·1985·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

A two-stage assessment of newly admitted outpatients at community mental health centers and primary medical care centers found the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale to be highly sensitive but relatively nonspecific when compared with assessments of depression by the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Considerably higher than usual screening scores are recommended with both patient populations to improve the efficiency of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The reasons for our finding that primary care clinicians underdiagnose depressive disorder while psychiatric clinicians overdiagnose it relative to the Diagnostic Interview Schedule include varied presentations by each sector's patients, differing clinical acumen, and factors affecting third-party reimbursement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
