The PROMIS-D-SF demonstrated moderately strong concordance with depressive diagnoses and symptoms measured by the SCID, but cutoff t-scores did not meet study criteria for clinical screening. The PROMIS-D-SF may be useful for assessing depression in YACS, but the limitations in its sensitivity and specificity identified in the current study are likely to limit its usefulness as a stand-alone screening instrument in this population.
