The United States Preventative Task Force (USPTF) recommends a depression screening be provided for every adolescent and adult. The Patient Health Questionnaire 2 (PHQ-2) and The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) are the most utilized and validated screening tools and have demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity.
