Abstract
Fragestellung: Es soll die Vergleichbarkeit von PHQ-9 und den Kurzformen PHQ-8/PHQ-2 in der Allgemeinbevölkerung untersucht werden. Methode: Der PHQ-9 wurde an einer repräsentativen Stichprobe (N = 2524) eingesetzt und die dimensionale Bewertung der Depressionsschwere sowie die Fallidentifikation durch die verschiedenen Versionen verglichen. Ergebnisse: PHQ-8 und PHQ-9 sind hinsichtlich der Identifikation Depressiver vergleichbar, bei dimensionaler Anwendung ergeben sich Unterschiede. Als Screener ist der PHQ-2 überlegen. Diskussion: In der Praxis ist der PHQ-9, in der Forschung und bei speziellen Befragungsmodi der PHQ-8 vorzuziehen. Als ökonomischer Ultrakurzscreener empfiehlt sich der PHQ-2. Identifying depression in the general population - A comparison of PHQ-9, PHQ-8 and PHQ-2 Objective: To examine the comparability of depression as defined by PHQ-9, PHQ-8 and PHQ-2 in the German general population. Methods: The PHQ-9 was assessed in a representative sample (N = 2524). Depression diagnosis and depression severity as measured either by PHQ-9,PHQ-8 or PHQ-2 were compared. Results: PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 performed comparably in identifying depressive persons, though there are slight differences in rating depression severity. In comparison, the PHQ-2 showed the best performance in the detection of any depressive disorder. Conclusions: The PHQ-9 should be used in clinical settings, whereas in research and when persons are being approached via telephone/mail/internet the PHQ-8 is preferable. The PHQ-2 is recommended as a very economic and brief screener for depressive disorders.Keywords
