Background summary
Most screening instruments for common mental disorders feature long sentences
and difficult wording. We have developed an easy to understand, web based,
visual screening instrument, the Trimbos Visual Screener for Common Mental
Disorders (TVS-CMD), which screens for depression, various anxiety symptoms,
problem drinking and suicidal ideation, and is aimed at adults with various
education and reading levels. A pilot validation of this new measure among
university students shows significant associations between TVS-CMD subscales
and a validated screening questionnaire (*² = 5.58 - 24.39, p = .000 - .022),
except for one item (*² = .52, p = 1.00). The current study will cross-validate
the TVS-CMD with a battery of *gold standard* self-report measures in the
general population.
Study objective
(1) How accurately do the TVS-CMD items reflect clinically relevant symptoms?
(2) What is the concurrent and discriminant validity of the TVS-CMD? (3) How
can the scoring system of the TVS-CMD be optimised?
Study design
Participants will complete the TVS-CMD and a number of self-report
questionnaires, all online. Associations between our instrument and the gold
standard self-report questionnaires will be computed. These data will be used
to investigate to what extent the items of the TVS-CMD reflect clinically
relevant symptoms, to calculate concurrent and discriminant validity and to
optimise the scoring system.
Study burden and risks
Participants will be asked to complete a number of questionnaires online. It is
estimated participation will take about 45 minutes.
