Individual participant data meta analysis to compare EPDS accuracy to detect ma...

Item 10 of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is intended to assess thoughts of intentional self-harm but may also elicit concerns about accidental self-harm. It does not specifically address suicide ideation but, nonetheless, is sometimes used as an indicator of suicidality. The 9-item version of the EPDS (EPDS-9), which omits item 10, is sometimes used in research due to concern about positive en...

Design for friction. An inquiry to position friction as a method for reflection...

To solve emerging problems, design uses new technologies to introduce “technofixes” (Hankey & Tuszynski, 2017) that are created to improve society in various capacities. The dissolution of technology, described as “ubiquitous computing”, brings with its pervasiveness a series of consequences to the constant production of personal data online (Greene, 2019; Manovich, 2012) that tech companies have now access...

Designing network visualizations for genetic literary criticism

In this paper we present the outcomes of a research aimed at designing a new visual model for the analysis and presentation of data of genetic criticism carried out in collaboration between researchers in information design and literary scholars of the project [name of the project redacted for blind review]. The design process involved three moments: gathering of information for the definition of design require...

Designing network visuaizations for genetic literary criticism

We present a research project aimed at de-signing a new visual model for the analysis and presentation of data of genetic criticism, an approach to the study of literature that inquires about the genesis of literary works. The project was carried out in collaboration between researchers in information design and literary scholars, in the context of the project «Gustave Roud.Œuvres completes». The introduced vis...

A literature review on “friction” as a method for reflection in design interven...

The article proposes a literature review on how design could be a viable way to make users reflect when using design products in the larger context of data production through digital technologies. Design practitioners con-sider quickness, ease of use, and smoothness as hallmarks of good design that produces digital interfaces that do not disclose what is happening behind the surface, creating opaque situations ...

Data-driven methods distort optimal cutoffs and accuracy estimates of depressio...

To evaluate, across multiple sample sizes, the degree that data-driven methods result in (1) optimal cutoffs different from population optimal cutoff and (2) bias in accuracy estimates.

The accuracy of the patient health questionnaire-9 algorithm for screening to d...

Overestimation of postpartum depression prevalence based on a 5-item version of...

The Maternal Mental Health in Canada, 2018/2019, survey reported that 18% of 7,085 mothers who recently gave birth reported "feelings consistent with postpartum depression" based on scores ≥7 on a 5-item version of the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS-5). The EPDS-5 was designed as a screening questionnaire, not to classify disorders or estimate prevalence; the extent to which EPDS-5 results reflect ...

Shortening the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale using optimal test assembly...

Aims: This study used a large database to develop a reliable and valid shortened form of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a self-report questionnaire used for depression screening in pregnancy and postpartum, based on objective criteria. Methods: Item responses from the 10-item EPDS were obtained from 5157 participants (765 major depression cases) from 22 primary screening accuracy studies that ...

Probability of major depression classification based on the SCID, CIDI, and MIN...

Introduction: Three previous individual participant data meta-analyses (IPDMAs) reported that, compared to the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM (SCID), alternative reference standards, primarily the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), tended to misclassify major depression status, when controlling for depression symptom sever...
