“…Construct validity has been shown by adequate associations with diverse domains of health-related quality of life, as well as self-reported disability days and physician visits. Reliability, factorial and construct validity were confirmed in a large general population sample (4). Criterion validity of the PHQ-2 and the GAD-2 were tested in separate studies which used structured clinical interview diagnoses according to DSM-IV as criterion standards.…”

“…There is ample evidence that screening for depression and anxiety is the first step of successful therapy of these disorders in patients with medical diseases (1)(2)(3)(4). Preoperative anaesthesiological assessment clinics have proven to be an ideal setting for implementing psychosocial screening as a component of a psychotherapeutic stepped care approach for surgical patients with comorbid mental disorders (5; 6).…”

“…Results from a large community sample (n = 5030) reported results that support the reliability and validity of the PHQ-4 (Löwe et al, 2010). Confirmatory factor analysis supported a twofactor solution (CFI = .984, TLI = .988, RMSEA = .027).…”

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and eating disorders (ED) are frequently comorbid psychological conditions in persons who have experienced traumatic life events. This thesis investigates a gendered analysis of the co-occurrence of symptoms of ED, PTSD, and dissociation using Perceived Causal Relations (PCR) scaling in a convenience sample recruited online (n = 523) as well as in persons seeking inpatient treatment for ED (n = 12). Within the internet community sample, re-experiencing, avoidance and dissociative experiences were found to mediate the relationship between trauma history and ED symptoms in men and women.Although dissociation was a consistent mediator in this relationship, it was not perceived as a significantly greater cause of ED-related behaviours than vice versa on PCR. Within the clinical sample, ED-related behaviours were often perceived as effects of trauma-related, anxiety and mood symptoms. The implications of these results for understanding the comorbidity of ED and trauma-related symptoms are discussed.
