| SCL-90-R: Administration, scoring and procedure manual -I. | Measures nine dimensions of psychiatric symptomology: somatization [SOM], obsessive-compulsive [O-C], interpersonal sensitivity [INT], depression [DEP], anxiety [ANX], hostility [HOS], phobic anxiety [PHOB], paranoid ideation [PAR] and psychoticism [PSY]. Each of the 90 items is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale of distress, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Three global indices provide measures of overall psychological distress: global severity index [GSI], positive symptom distress index [PSDI] and positive symptom total [PST]. | Derogatis, L. R. (1977). SCL-90-R: Administration, scoring and procedure manual -I. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins. |

| Screening tests for geriatric depression. | The GDS is the most appropriate inventory to assess depression in older adults (Kalichman, 1998). The GDS consists of 30 items presented in a "yes/no" fashion. Items focus solely on cognitive and behavioral aspects of depression; no somatic items are included, thus avoiding overlap between depression, HIV infection, and medication side effects. A score of 0-10 indicates no depression, 11-20 mild depression, and 21-30 indicates moderate-to-severe depression. | Brink TL, Yesavage JA, Lum O, Heersema P, Adey MB, Rose TL: Screening tests for geriatric depression. Clinical Gerontologist 1: 37-44, 1982. |

| Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) | The PHQ is "a self-administered version of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders". "At 9 items, the PHQ depression scale (which we call the PHQ-9) is half the length of many other depression measures, has comparable sensitivity and specificity, and consists of the actual nine criteria on which the diagnosis of DSM-IV depressive disorders is based. The latter feature distinguishes the PHQ-9 from other two-step depression measures for which, when scores are high, additional questions must be asked to establish DSM-IV depressive diagnoses. The PHQ-9 is thus a dual-purpose instrument that, with the same nine items, can establish provisional depressive disorder diagnoses as well as grade depressive symptom severity." The scale questions ask about symptoms within the last two weeks. The response options vary from "not at all" to "nearly every day". | Kroenke, K., Spitzer, R. L., & Williams, J. B. W. (2001). The PHQ-9. Journal of General Internal Medicine, 16(9), 606-613. |

| Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) | The instrument is a self-assessment scale which was "developed and found to be a reliable instrument for detecting states of depression and anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical outpatient clinic." It takes 2-5 minutes to complete. | Zigmond, A. S., & Snaith, R. P. (1983). The hospital anxiety and depression scale. Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 67(6), 361. Snaith, R. P. (2003).

| Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) | The scale contains 20 items which are "constructed on the basis of the clinical diagnostic criteria most commonly used to characterize depressive disorders". Ten items are worded symptomatically positive, and ten items are worded symptomatically negative. Response options are 1-4 from "a little of the time" to "most of the time". | Zung, W. W., Richards, C. B., & Short, M. J. (1965). Self-rating depression scale in an outpatient clinic: Further validation of the SDS. Archives of General Psychiatry, 13(6), 508-515. |

| A rating scale for depression. | This is a clinician-administered scale for measuring depressive symptoms in the past week. "The scale contains 17 variables (see Appendix I). Some are defined in terms of a series of categories of increasing intensity, while others are defined by a number of equal-valued terms." | Hamilton, M. (1960). A rating scale for depression. |

| Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale | The Structured Interview Guide for the HDRS (SIGH-D) was developed to standardize the manner of administration of the scale. A test-retest reliability study conducted on a series of psychiatric Inpatients demonstrated that the use of the SIGH-D results In a substantially Improved level of agreement for most of the HDRS Items. | Williams, J.

| Depression Screener for Primary Care (PC-SAD©) | "The PC-SAD consists of 37 items: a three-item pre-screener (Appendix 1, Question 1 and 2), a 26-item MDD section (Appendix 1, Question 3a, 3c-f, Question 5, and Question 6), an eight-item dysthymia section (Question 4). The 26-item MDD section includes five questions from the Short Form-36 (SF-36, Question 3) [60], which are also included in this instrument, three of them from the MHI-5 [31]. Questions are laid out in grid formats (Appendix 1). The three-item prescreener consists of two depression questions that are closely related to the WHO depression screener, and one dysthymia question that we developed." | Rogers, W. H., Wilson, I.

| Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) | The scale is designed to measure "depressive symptomatology in the general population". It has 20 questions and four response options - rarely or none of the time, some or a little of the time, occasionally or a moderate amount of time, most or all of the time. | Radloff, L. S. (1977).

| The brief symptom inventory: An introductory report | "The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) consists of 53 items covering nine symptom dimensions: Somatization, Obsession-Compulsion, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation and Psychoticism; and three global indices of distress: Global Severity Index, Positive Symptom Distress Index, and Positive Symptom Total. The global indices measure current or past level of symptomatology, intensity of symptoms, and number of reported symptoms, respectively." | Derogatis, L. R., Melisaratos, N., & BY, P. A. (1983).
