BACKGROUND
Mental Illness - in particular Depression - has a broad impact on a patient's life, setting his perception of life, of himself, his health and his quality of life. (FLECK et al, 2002)
The proximity of the worldview of the depressed patient, of his dismay,
and self rated health
to the possibility that, in trying to measure one of the entities,
one is also measuring the other.
LEADS
the subjectivity implicit in the measurements of quality of life

BACKGROUND
When measuring quality of life emphasis is given to subjective evaluation:
responses refer to questions about one's perception of one's quality of life.
Even the axes that would account for multiple dimensions are influenced by
the individual's perception about himself , his state of anxiety and
excitement.
Thus, it follows from the subjective concept of quality of life its close
relationship to mental health, particularly depression.

BACKGROUND
![Page 7: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MOTIVATION
Instruments designed to assess quality of life have been applied to trace mental conditions:
-> anxiety (SANDERSON et al 2001),
-> panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia (SANDERSON, ANDREWS, 2002)
->depression (GILL et al 2007)
![Page 8: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MOTIVATION
The Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) with one of its two areas relating to the perception of mental health (MCS-12) may be useful to trace conditions such as depressive symptoms.
But its validity as a measure of mental problems in general populations has received little attention (GILL et al 2007).
![Page 9: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MOTIVATION
Gill and colleagues (2007) evaluated the utility of the MCS-12 as screening instrument for depression and anxiety disorders diagnosed in a sample of the general population from the National Survey of Mental Health in Australia.
The results confirmed the validity of using the MCS-12 in epidemiological research in Mental Health and its suitability as a screening tool for depression.
![Page 10: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MOTIVATION
These findings lead to a widening of interest in MCS-12 as a resource to assess indicators of depression, particularly in more susceptible individuals such as the elders.
![Page 11: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OBJECTIVE
To select a cutoff point of the MCS-12 scale
that leads to an adequate discrimination
of severe depressive symptoms with good
sensitivity and specificity.
![Page 12: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
METHODS: SAMPLE
Data was gathered by the SABE Study - Health Welfare and
Ageing: in 2006, 1115 survivors of the first round (2000)
were interviewed.
A two-stage sample drawn in 2000 with clusters selected
through probabilities proportional to the size was adjusted
in 2006 to accurately represent the population of elders
living in the city of São Paulo, Brasil.

METHODS: INSTRUMENTS
Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale - GDS – (SHEIKH AND YESAVAGE, 1986). Cutoff score of 11 was used for severe symptoms.
Mental Health component of the SF-12 (MSC-12). (WARE, KOSINSKY & KELLER, 1996).

METHODS: ANALYSIS
Indications of cutoff points for the MSC12 were found by Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is an indication of the diagnostic power of the scale.
This ROC analysis does not support weighting for effects of the Sample Design. Thus, final cutoff points were selected by examining the suggested points in weighted 2x2 tables.

RESULTS: SELECTION OF A CUTTING POINT.
The ROC curve analysis indicated the points from 41 to
46 as possible good choices for cutoff.
AUC was estimated as 89,4% . According to SWETS
(1988) an AUC value of 90% or higher indicates a
highly accurate scale, and between 80% and 90%
indicates a useful scale for screening.

RESULTS
In the analysis of double entry tables with weighting for sampling effects the score of 43 was chosen as the cutoff for severe depressive symptoms in both sexes.
This score provided a good balance between the desirable values for sensitivity and specificity. We did focus on specificity, since the objective is to use the instrument for screening.

DISCUSSIONGill and colleagues (2007) found similar values for the
MCS-12 when compared to the CIDI-2.1: The area under
the ROC curve was slightly higher (0.92), showed better
sensitivity (87%) but lower specificity (83%). Their cutoff
point was 45, which can be considered a similar
result, since the population involved was older than 18
years, mean age 45, and in our sample we dealt with
seniors aged 65 and over, mean age 73.7years.

CONCLUSIONS
The mental component of SF-12 showed good
performance for the screening of depression in
an elderly population. It properly allocated 86% of
females and 93% of men. The specificity was
higher than sensitivity, which is convenient for
screening instruments, and ranged from 87% to
94%.

CONCLUSIONS
The SF-12 scale is widely used in epidemiologic
research. These results indicate that its mental
component MCS-12 is a useful screening
instrument for depression among the elderly, and
thus, a useful tool in epidemiological research in
mental health.
![Page 26: Parallel Session 2 2.3 Neglected Conditions : Depression and Violence THE SHORT FORM HEALTH SURVEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SCREENING OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551c18e25503469e4f8b5778/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
LIMITATIONSMCS-12 was studied in comparison to only one other scale, also used
for screening, the GDS. It would be important to evaluate the discriminatory
properties of the MCS-12 in a population of elderly people diagnosed by the CIDI
2.1.
This study refers to a population of elderly people in São Paulo - Brazil,
and generalization of its application to other populations should take into
account any cultural differences.
The weights used in the analysis aimed to ensure representation of the
senior community in general and were designed to apply in epidemiological
studies. Thus, clinical studies or researches in primary care may achieve
incomplete benefits from these results.
