Population

221 patients visiting a primary healthcare centre during a period of 10 days

Intervention

Two-stage screening procedure: self-rating Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) followed by structured diagnostic interview (Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders, PRIME-MD) for those scoring ≥12

Outcome

Occurrence and severity of depression, as well as gender, age and psychiatric co-morbidity

A two-stage screening procedure using MADRS and PRIME-MD is feasible and identifies a considerable rate of undetected depression in primary care.
