This study compared depression identification rates and validity of the currently mandated Minimum Data Set (MDS) and the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form-15 item (GDS) in a sample of nursing home residents. Results indicate the GDS is a better tool for identifying depression than the MDS. The GDS, MDS Section E1, QI, and OSCAR screened 35%, 23%, 3%, and 4% positive for depression, respectively. Mean sensitivity and specificity for SADS-RDC (gold standard) vs. GDS, MDS Section E1, OSCAR, and QI were .91, .79, .83, and .88, respectively. Chi-square analyses indicated the GDS was the only test, in relation to the SADS-RDC to identify depressed residents p = .001.
