    Hi! I would like to inquire if there have been validation studies done on the PHQ-9 filipino version. I plan to use this for my research to diagnose depression among chronic kidney disease patients and compare it against DSM-IV criteria. but I need to know if the filipino version has been validated against that of the english version. thank you. hoping for your immediate response

      Hi mary, as stated in the yellow notice at the top of the page, the filipino version is a machine translation and purely there for convenience to enable the dissemination of medical information to the global community. It therefore should not be relied upon for the purposes you mention above.
