An evaluation of the psychometric properties of the adapted PHQ-9 and GAD-7 outcome measures for use with adults with intellectual disability
Preliminary research suggests the adapted PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are valid and reliable measures. They could provide a reasonable adjustment for the minimum dataset used in NHS Talking Therapies and can be easily administered in routine clinical practice. Further work to establish additional psychometric properties is now required.
