Screening young adult cancer survivors for depression and anxiety with the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD): Comparisons with a structured clinical diagnostic interview.

PRIME-MD has potential utility as a screening measure of depressive disorders in YACS. The PRIME-MD depressive symptom threshold may be particularly useful in survivorship clinics as it requires only two items be administered. However, PRIME-MD does not meet study criteria for a standalone screen for anxiety disorders, anxiety symptoms, or depressive symptoms in YACS.
