Key facts
- PhenX - depression - adult protocol 120502
- This protocol is divided into two parts. Part I consists of the depression section from the Composite International Diagnostic Interview - Short Form (CIDI-SF), developed for the World Health Organization, and is a screening tool for the general population. Part II consists of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (QIDS) that captures the severity of depressive symptoms in the last seven days. The Psychiatric Working Group has recommended that the portions of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview - Short Form (CIDI-SF) be used separately to screen for specific disorders in the PhenX Toolkit. Specifically, the entire instrument is included as the PhenX Measure General Psychiatric Assessment, section A is included as a protocol for the PhenX Measure of Depression, section I is included as a protocol for the PhenX Measure of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and sections B, C, D, E and F are included as a protocol Anxiety Disorders. Therefore, selecting the General Psychiatric Assessment measure in combination with Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and / or Anxiety Disorders will result in selecting the same protocol multiple times. Contained in these instruments are questions about thoughts of suicide. If using these protocols, please inform your Institutional Review Boards of these questions and institute a plan of action for dealing with suicidal thoughts in your respondent. It may be necessary to create a separate protocol for immediate action and/or referral.
