Abstract

Psychological distress persists amongst breast cancer survivors, so reliable assessment of symptoms is essential. The Patient Health Questionnaire Anxiety and Depression Scale (PHQ-ADS) is a composite measure of depression and anxiety and has been used to measure distress. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PHQ-ADS within breast cancer survivors.
