Things to add next
This is a good start! Let's look at adding: Advantages: Available for free; better model of depression than may other measures (which often just measure distress rather than depression per se); used in a range of epidemiological as well as clinical samples; some translations available.

Limitations: Not a lot of information about sensitivity to treatment effects.

It also could be helpful to mention factor structure, reliability, SE of difference (expected precision of scores with repeated testing). With there being epidemiological data, should be possible to construct Jacobson & Truax benchmarks.

Based on reviews and a meta-analysis, as well as the measure being publicly available, this page is a priority to flesh out. It is one of the "Best of the Free" and it addresses a common issue.

Thanks for all the work on this!

References from Duke Center for Developmental Epidemiology
In addition to downloads for the MFQ, the Duke Center for Developmental Epidemiology's page about the MFQ provides, with permission from the publisher), PDFs for two 1995 articles by Angold, Messer, et. al. about development of the Short MFQ. I don't have time to integrate this information into the article right now, but I've wikified the citations for future use:



Another PDF on that page lists seven additional references suggested by Adrian Angold. Note that all of these are primary research, not secondary sources, I include them here only because they maybe useful for locating relevant meta-analyses and/or review articles. —Shelley V.
