    Psychiatric screening tools in primary care showed biases. Men were more often false negatives, and less educated individuals were more often false positives, impacting accurate mental health assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology
    • Medical Sociology

    Background:

    • Primary care settings are crucial for mental health screening.
    • Accurate psychiatric screening is essential for timely intervention.
    • Sociodemographic factors can influence screening tool performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance of two psychiatric screening instruments in primary care.
    • To investigate the impact of sociodemographic variables on screening misclassification.
    • To assess the utility of ROC analysis and logistic modeling in screening studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of two psychiatric screening instruments to 875 primary care attenders.
    • Validation of questionnaires against the Clinical Interview Schedule in a subsample (n=260).

  • Analysis of misclassification using Relative Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and linear logistic modeling.

    • Main Results:

    • Sex and educational level significantly influenced screening misclassification.

    • Individuals with lower educational attainment showed a higher rate of false-positive results.

    Conclusions:

    • Sociodemographic variables, particularly sex and education, affect psychiatric screening accuracy.
    • ROC analysis and logistic modeling are valuable tools for analyzing screening biases.
    • Findings highlight the need to consider illness behavior in interpreting screening results.
