The presence and severity of depression will be determined using the PHQ9-A (Patient Health Questionnaire, adolescent version), a 9-question depression scale that is based on the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria of depression and modified for teens to further inquire about other aspects of depression such as dysthymia, suicide risk, and other mental illnesses. The PHQ-9A scores each of the DSM-IV criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). Total depression severity score ranges of 0-4 none, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, 20-27 severe.
