  • Depressive SymptomatologyBaseline through 24 months

    The Patient Health Questionnaire Youths (PHQ-A) is a 9-item self-report measure of depressive symptomatology that has been shown to be both valid and reliable (α=.86-.89) (4-point Likert scale, 0-27 score range, higher score indicating more depressive symptoms/severity).This instrument has been used to assess depression in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), cystic fibrosis and other I/DD.

  • Depressive Symptomatology (additional measures for those participating in Tiers 2 and 3)Baseline through 24 months

    The Patient Health Questionnaire 8 (PHQ-8) is an 8-item self-report measure of depressive symptomatology that has been shown to be both valid and reliable (4-point Likert scale, 0-24 score range, higher score indicating more depressive symptoms/severity). This instrument is a version of the PHQ-9 that does not include a question regarding suicidality. Participants in Group B, Tier 2 will receive this instrument during the course of the Tier 2 intervention (online group sessions). Participants in Group B, Tier 3 will receive this instrument during the course of the Tier 3 intervention (online group sessions).

    The Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) is a 7-item measure of anxiety symptomatology (4-point Likert scale, 0-21 score range, higher score indicating greater anxiety severity) that has been shown to be both valid and reliable (α=.92) and has been used to assess anxiety in individuals with ASD and other I/DD. Additionally, participants in Group B, Tier 2 will receive this instrument during the course of the Tier 2 intervention (online group sessions). Participants in Group B, Tier 3 will receive this instrument during the course of the Tier 3 intervention (online group sessions).
