Beck Depression Scale

The scale was administered to investigate each participant's feelings and attitudes regarding the general depressive state. Each patient was asked to read several groups of statements and then mark the one statement in each group that best described how he or she felt "during the past week." BDI, which evaluates four statements describing increasing intensities of depressive symptoms between 0 and 3 points, includes 21 items. Depressive symptoms were classified as follows: minimal-to-moderate depressive symptoms (range 14 to 19), moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms (range 20 to 29), severe depressive symptoms (range 30 to 63).

Reliability and/or validity studies were conducted in 14 centers from 12 countries in 2000 for at least two of the four long (IPAQ-long) and four short (IPAQ-SF) forms of the IPAQ.
