The accuracy of the 14-item Italian version of the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (IDAS-14) as a screening tool for depression among elderly people is evaluated and compared with the BDI. Results for the IDAS-14 are most satisfactory, since high levels of both specificity (0.95) and sensitivity (0.89) may be obtained at a given cut-off score (56)

Results for the IDAS-14 are most satisfactory, since high levels of both specificity (0.95) and sensitivity (0.89) may be obtained at a given cut-off score (56)
