title: Experiences with some new scales for use in general practice trials.
abstract: The proper assessment of depression in general practice requires the use of adequate and sensitive measurement of target symptoms. In a pilot trial of a new 50 mg formulation of clomipramine (Anafranil) various new techniques of measurement were explored, namely, the General Health Questionnaire, a series of visual analogue scales with a centre reference point and a new physician rating scale for depression.
