Trial Outcomes

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 Item

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) (Hamilton, 1960). We used the 17-item version of the 27-item HRSD, a measure of depression severity. The Structured Interview Guide was used to conduct the interviews (SIGH-D; Williams, 1988). The reliability and validity of the HRSD are well documented (Rabkin & Klein, 1987). Interjudge reliability as assessed by interclass correlations was .92 in our sample. Total 17-item scores could range from 17-48 with higher scores indicating greater distress. (NCT00043550)
Timeframe: symptoms assessed during past 7 days, measure taken at baseline, week 8 and week 16
