The Voice-Interactive Depression Assessment System-Ill (VIDAS-Ill) is a bilingual computerized speech recognition application for screening depression. In this study, 128 English- and 128 Spanish-speakers completed a demographic interview, an acculturation scale, the BDI-II, the CIDI-Short Form, and VIDAS-Ill. The results suggested that VIDAS-IlI subscales (CES-D and DSM-IV criteria) demonstrated high inter-item reliability (.81 to .92), strong concurrent validity (.58 to .67), sensitivity (.72 to 1.0), and specificity (.40 to .72). Both language groups positively rated VIDAS-IlI. Male and female participants most often selected a digitized female voice to present VIDAS-HI. The findings suggest that speech computerized interviewing can accurately detect depressive symptoms in English and Spanish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
