The authors used the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale to measure the level of depressive symptoms in a self-referred clinic population whose socioeconomic status was low. They found that the population suffered a high degree of depression and that the diagnosis of major affective syndrome predominated. The depression scale used was found to be a good indicator of probable depression in this population. The authors suggest further investigation of the linkage between socioeconomic status and affective disorder.
作者使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表，对一个自我转诊的、社会经济地位较低的门诊人群的抑郁症状水平进行了测量。他们发现该人群患有高度抑郁症，且以重度情感综合征诊断为主。研究发现，所使用的抑郁量表是该人群可能患抑郁症的一个良好指标。作者建议进一步研究社会经济地位与情感障碍之间的联系。
