Abstract
Objective
Brief measures of depressive symptoms and family psychiatry history may support the identification of youth who warrant further assessment, but their interpretation requires population-based measurement evidence. This study evaluated the Very Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (VQIDS) and Family Index of Risk for Mood (FIRM) in the BENCHMARK 2025 national survey.
