“…Both measures are standard and well-validated. The HRSD has been used extensively in MDD treatment studies (Keller, 2003), with inter-rater reliabilities of .78 - .91 and convergent validities of .73 - .86 in depressed female samples (Rehm & Ohara, 1985; Whisman et al, 1989). The TLFB has excellent reliability (Sobell & Sobell, 1978) and validity for alcohol (Sobell et al, 1980; Sobell et al, 1979) and drug use (Fals-Stewart et al, 2000; Sobell et al, 1996), and is sensitive to change as used in this study (Babor et al, 1987; Sobell et al, 1986).…”

This study, the largest randomized controlled trial of treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) in an incarcerated population to date, wave-randomized 38 incarcerated women (6 waves) in prison substance use treatment with MDD to group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) or to an attention-matched control. Intent-to-treat analyses found that IPT participants had significantly lower depressive symptoms at the end of 8 weeks of in-prison treatment than did control participants. Control participants improved later, after prison release. IPT's rapid effect on MDD within prison may reduce serious in-prison consequences of MDD.

“…A recent meta-analytic study showed that the HRSD has good test-retest reliability (Mean r = .87), internal consistency (Mean α = .79), and inter-rater reliability (Mean r = .87) (Trajkovi ć et al, 2011), in addition to correlating highly with other established depression measures (Whisman et al, 1989). …”

Pretreatment cortisol levels predict posttreatment outcomes among older adults with depression in cognitive behavioral therapy

Previous studies suggest that individuals with elevated levels of cortisol (the “stress hormone”) could be particularly resistant to treatment for depression. However, most of these studies have been conducted in the context of antidepressant medications, and no study has examined pretreatment cortisol levels as a predictor of treatment outcomes among older adults with depression in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), despite the relevance of this population for such a research question. The current study includes 54 older adults with depression who provided salivary cortisol samples at baseline and completed measures of depression at pretreatment and posttreatment, following a 12-week course of CBT. Structural equation modeling results suggest that those with higher daily outputs of cortisol and flatter diurnal slopes were less likely to benefit from CBT—a finding which if replicated could have important implications for clinical practice and future research.

“…The HRSD has strong test-retest reliability of .81 (Williams, 1988). When compared with other measures of depression such as the Beck Depression Inventory and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Depression scale, it was shown to have good validity with correlations of .85 and .62, respectively (Whisman, Strosahl, Fruzzetti, Schmaling, Jacobsen, & Miller, 1989). Clinical cutoff points for the HRSD are as follows: zero to seven = Normal; eight to 17 = Mild Depression; 18 to 24 Moderate Depression; >24 = Severe Depression (Cusin, Yang, Yeung, & Fava, 2004).…”

Purpose Women undergoing surgery for breast cancer experience side effects such as fatigue, reduced quality of life (QOL), and depression. Physical activity (PA) is associated with improved psychological adjustment during treatment and survivorship, yet little is known about how PA relates to fatigue, depression and QOL in the period following surgery for breast cancer. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between these constructs in women who recently underwent surgery for breast cancer. Methods At two to ten weeks post-surgery, 240 women with non-metastatic breast cancer reported intensity and duration of moderate and vigorous PA (MVPA), fatigue (intensity and interference), depressed mood, clinician-rated depression, and functional QOL. Results In the path analysis models tested, women that reported greater weekly MVPA reported less fatigue interference, greater functional QOL, less depressed mood, and lower clinician-rated depression. Tests of indirect effects suggested that fatigue interference may be an intermediate pathway by which MVPA relates to functional QOL, clinician-rated depression, and depressed mood. Conclusion Women who are more physically active in the months after breast cancer surgery show greater psychological adaptation in the initial phases of their treatment.
