Trial Outcomes & Findings for Developing E-health Services (DES): The Feasibility and Acceptability of Video-conferencing for Adults With Depression (NCT NCT03288506)

Last Updated: 2023-08-25

Results Overview

Depression Measure PHQ-9 scores \> 10 had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 88% for Major Depressive Disorder. Depression Severity: 0-4 none, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, 20-27 severe (range of 0-27) Internal consistency of the PHQ-9 has been shown to be high with Cronbach alphas of .86 and .89.
