Abstract

Interviews with 48 Latino medical outpatients assessed depression via a brief self‐report screening measure and a structured diagnostic interview. Twenty‐eight percent of the sample received a DSM‐III‐R diagnosis of major depression. Validity information is provided for the screening measure, which can be used with Latino medical patients, a traditionally high‐risk group for depressive disorders. 1991 American Orthopsychiatric Association
