Abstract
Objective To check the validity of the preliminary results with the Gender-Sensitive Depression Screening (GSDS) in two German samples of non-psychiatric outpatients. Methods The psychometric validation of the GSDS-33 was performed in a sample of non-psychiatric outpatients of different clinics belonging to the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (n = 958) and in a male non-psychiatric sample of the Men's Health Center in Berlin (n = 237). Results Findings of the first validation study of the GSDS (Moller-Leimkuhler, Muhleck 2020) were largely confirmed. The data also confirmed the factors 'aggressiveness' and 'emotional control' as important components of an increasing depression risk. Compared to a standard screening the GSDS again identified more risk cases among men in the two samples (8 % and 18 %). Conclusions The GSDS-25 is a multidimensional, valid and reliable scale for better identifying men with a risk of depression.
