- Abstract
The comparative ratings of depressive symptomatology as viewed by the triad of clinician, patient and significant-other (S-O) person was studied. The Zung depression scale, with appropriate forms for interviewer, self, and S-O ratings, was used. Correlation between interviewer and self-ratings was 0.82, between interviewer and S-O was 0.33, and between self and S-O was 0.34 (all with p = < 0.01). Analysis of those items which the S-O checked as 'do not know' or were left blank, showed that those items of a more personal and confidential nature were the most difficult for the S-O persons to rate and those that were easily observable presented no problem.
