| Sumario: | Are computerized and face-to-face screening methods equivalent at detecting depression symptoms in English and Spanish speakers? This study integrates state-of-the-art speech recognition and telephone technologies to conduct voice-interactive screening. Computerized or face-to-face forms of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were administered to 82 English and 84 Spanish speakers. The results indicate that the 2 CES-D methods demonstrate similar psychometric properties. The findings also suggest that computerized screening could increase avenues for the detection of depression in non-English-speaking primary care populations. Thus, automated interviewing can place mental health practitioners at the forefront of identification of depression in the general population. Reprinted by permission of the publisher. |
