| Annotation | The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is commonly used in Hong Kong as a screening tool for depression in older people. This study is in two parts. The first describes development of a standardised manual for the verbal administration and scoring of the GDS-SF. The second compares the inter-rater reliability between the standardised and the non-standardised verbal administration of the GDS-SF. Results indicate that the standardised procedure in verbal administration and scoring improves the inter-rater reliabilities of the GDS-SF. (RH). |
