To aid general practitioners and other non-psychiatrists in the better recognition of mental illness short scales measuring anxiety and depression were derived by latent trait analysis from a standardised psychiatric research interview. Designed to be used by non-psychiatrists, they provide dimensional measures of the severity of each disorder. The full set of nine questions need to be administered only if there are positive answers to the first four. When assessed against the full set of 60 questions contained in the psychiatric assessment schedule they had a specificity of 91% and a sensitivity of 86%. The scales would be used by non-psychiatrists in clinical investigations and possibly also by medical students to familiarise them with the common forms of psychiatric illness, which are often unrecognised in general medical settings.
为帮助全科医生和其他非精神科医生更好地识别精神疾病，通过对标准化精神科研究访谈进行潜在特质分析，得出了测量焦虑和抑郁的简短量表。这些量表专为非精神科医生设计，可提供每种疾病严重程度的维度测量。仅当前四个问题回答为正时，才需要给出全套九个问题。与精神科评估表中包含的全套60个问题相比，它们的特异性为91%，敏感性为86%。这些量表将由非精神科医生用于临床研究，医学生也可能会使用，以使他们熟悉精神疾病的常见形式，而这些形式在普通医疗环境中常常未被识别。
