The authors developed a depression scale in the Vietnamese language that contains culturally consistent items describing the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of depressed individuals and items describing common clinical characteristics of depressed Vietnamese patients. After pretesting, the preliminary 43-item scale was given to 21 depressed Vietnamese patients and a matched community sample of 44. Fifteen items accounted for 96% of the variance between the two groups and were used as the final form of the Vietnamese Depression Scale. A cutoff of 13 points (of a possible 34) identified 91% of the patients and 96% of the community sample.
作者编制了一个越南语抑郁量表，其中包含在文化上一致的项目，描述抑郁个体的想法、感受和行为，以及描述越南抑郁患者常见临床特征的项目。经过预测试后，将初步的43项量表施用于21名越南抑郁患者和44名匹配的社区样本。15个项目解释了两组之间96%的方差，并被用作越南语抑郁量表的最终形式。在可能的34分中，以13分为临界值可识别出91%的患者和96%的社区样本。
