Depression among outpatients of three descriptively and geographically dissimilar family practice residency programs was studied. The Beck Depression Inventory, the Popoff Index of Depression, and the Multiscore Depression Inventory (MDI) were compared. Reliabilities of all three instruments were high, as were correlations among the instruments. The only significant differences among the three populations were on the social introversion and sad mood subscales of the MDI. Regression analyses were then performed to compute equivalent scores on the Beck Depression Inventory short form from the MDI and Popoff instruments. This allowed approximate conversion of scores to the four levels of severity of depression described by Beck and Beck. This study provides the first extensive normative data for family practice on these measures, thus providing family physicians with a comparison group appropriate for a family practice rather than a psychiatric population.
对三个在描述和地理位置上不同的家庭医学住院医师培训项目的门诊患者的抑郁症情况进行了研究。比较了贝克抑郁量表、波波夫抑郁指数和多评分抑郁量表（MDI）。这三种工具的信度都很高，工具之间的相关性也很高。这三个人群之间唯一显著的差异在于MDI的社交内向和悲伤情绪分量表。然后进行回归分析，以从MDI和波波夫工具计算出贝克抑郁量表简版的等效分数。这使得分数能够近似转换为贝克和贝克所描述的抑郁症严重程度的四个等级。本研究首次提供了关于这些测量方法的家庭医学广泛规范数据，从而为家庭医生提供了一个适合家庭医学而非精神科人群的对照组。
