• Validity of the Brief Patient Health Questionnaire Mood Scale (PHQ-9) in the general population. (2006, methodology): “[12] reported the PHQ’s operating characteristics for major depression to be significantly superior to two other screening instruments (WBI-5 and HADS).”
• The Patient Health Questionnaire Somatic, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptom Scales: a systematic review. (2010, background): “Also, modest nuancing of the ≥10 cutpoint has been suggested by some investigators, such as ≥12 for the PHQ-9 [22,115,164] and ≥8 for the GAD-7 [8].”
• Standardization of the depression screener patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) in the general population. (2013, methodology): “The PHQ-9 further evidenced operating characteristics for major depression to be significantly superior to two other screening instruments [Well-being Index (WHO-5) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)] [12].”
• Assessment Scales in Depression, Mania and Anxiety (2004, methodology): “In a recent study, the PHQ-9 was shown to have superior psychometric properties than the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (see page 81) and the Well Being Index (WBI-5, not reviewed here) in identifying major depressive disorder (Lowe et al., 2004).”

• The Receiver-Operating Characteristic (Roc) Analysis: Fundamentals and Applications in Clinical Psychology (2009, background): “It has been often suggested that reliance on clinical judgment alone rather than statistical and standardized measures leads to accurate diagnosis (Dawes et al., 1989; Lèowe et al., 2004).”
