Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS)
The Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology is a 16-item assessment designed by A. John Rush and colleagues to efficiently measure the severity of depressive symptoms in adults. Published in Biological Psychiatry in 2003, the QIDS exists in both self-report (QIDS-SR) and clinician-rated (QIDS-C) versions. It was developed as a brief alternative to the longer Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS, 30 items) while maintaining comprehensive coverage of DSM-IV depressive symptoms. The QIDS has become a standard outcome measure in treatment research, particularly in large comparative effectiveness trials.
