The Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A) is a self-report questionnaire that is designed for the purpose of assessing anxiety, mood, eating, and substance use disorders among adolescent primary care patients.

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 is the major depressive disorder (MDD) module of the full PHQ. Used to provisionally diagnose depression and grade severity of symptoms in general medical and mental health settings.

Scores less than 5 almost always signified the absence of a depressive disorder; scores of 5 to 9 predominantly represented patients with either no depression or subthreshold (i.e., other) depression; scores of 10 to 14 represented a spectrum of patients; and scores of 15 or greater usually indicated major depression.

The PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 are scales from a larger Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) created to measure depressive and anxiety symptoms. A full PHQ is a screening tool for criteria-based diagnoses of various mental disorders in primary care [13].

In addition to making criteria-based diagnoses of depressive disorders, the PHQ-9 is also a reliable and valid measure of depression severity. These characteristics plus its brevity make the PHQ-9 a useful clinical and research tool.

The PHQ-9 is the nine item depression scale of the patient health questionnaire. The nine items of the PHQ-9 are based directly on the nine diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the DSM-IV.
