Identifying levels of general distress in first line mental health services: can GP- and eHealth clients’ scores be meaningfully compared?

摘要

BackgroundThe Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4DSQ) (Huisarts Wetenschap 39: 538–47, 1996) is a self-report questionnaire developed in the Netherlands to distinguish non-specific general distress from depression, anxiety, and somatization. This questionnaire is often used in different populations and settings and there is a paper-and-pencil and computerized version.
