High Occurrence of Mood and Anxiety Disorders among Older Adults: The National Comorbidity Survey Replication (2010, methodology): “The NCS-R data were weighted to control for differential probabilities of selection, differential nonresponse, and residual differences between demographic variables of the sample and 2000 US census population.(23,27) A detailed description of the NCS-R sampling and weighting procedures are outlined”
Perceived Social Support and the Voluntary, Mixed, or Pressured Use of Mental Health Services (2011, methodology): “The National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R) was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (U01-MH60220) with supplemental support from the National Institute of Drug Abuse (R01-DA12058-05), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Robert Wood Johnson Foun”
The efficacy of internet-delivered treatment for generalized anxiety disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2015, background): “Depression is commonly shown to follow GAD (Kessler et al., 2004), suggesting that chronic GAD may start the onset of depression in some cases (Barlow, 2002).”
The epidemiology of panic attacks, panic disorder, and agoraphobia in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. (2006, methodology): “More details on NCS-R sampling and weights are reported elsewhere.(15)”
Network analysis: an integrative approach to the structure of psychopathology. (2013, methodology): “Thus, all analyses are carried out on publicly available data from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication study (NCS-R; Kessler et al. 2004, 2005a,b) and executed using multiple freely available software packages that run in the free software statistical environment R…”
The prevalence and correlates of adult ADHD in the United States: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. (2006, methodology): “More details about NCS-R weighting are reported elsewhere (15).”
Size and burden of mental disorders in Europe--a critical review and appraisal of 27 studies. (2005, background): “(6) Unlike the long US tradition of fairly regular, large-scale community and general population studies with uniform methods and designs (i.e. ECA, Robins and Regier, 1991; NCS, Kessler et al., 1994; NCS-R, Kessler et al., 2004), there is no such tradition yet in the EU.”
Prevalence, severity, and comorbidity of 12-month DSM-IV disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. (2005, background): “Evidence for selection bias related to mental illness has been reported in other community surveys,(29-31) although no evidence for it was found in an NCS-R nonresponse survey.(13) To the extent that this bias exists, it will make NCS-R estimates conservative.”
Failure and delay in initial treatment contact after first onset of mental disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. (2005, methodology): “These procedures are described in more detail by Kessler et al.(43) As most disorders considered here were assessed in part I, cumulative probability of lifetime treatment contact curves were estimated using part I data and weights whenever possible.”
