Evaluating the Efficacy of AI-Based Interactive Assessments Using Large Language Models for Depression Screening: Development and #usability Study Background: The evolution of language models, particularly large language models, has introduced transformative potential for psychological assessment, challenging traditional rating scale methods that have dominated clinical practice for over a century. Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate an automated assessment paradigm that integrates natural language processing with conventional measurement tools to assess depressive symptoms, exploring its #feasibility as a novel approach in psychological evaluation. Methods: A cohort of 115 participants, including 28 (24.3%) individuals diagnosed with depression, completed the Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen via a custom ChatGPT interface (BDI-FS-GPT) and the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9). Statistical analyses included the Spearman correlation (PHQ-9 vs BDI-FS-GPT scores), Cohen κ (diagnostic agreement), and area under the curve (AUC) evaluation. Results: Spearman analysis revealed a moderate correlation between PHQ-9 and BDI-FS-GPT scores. The Cohen κ indicated moderate diagnostic agreement between the PHQ-9 and the BDI-FS-GPT (κ=0.43; 76.5% agreement), substantial agreement between the BDI-FS-GPT and the clinical diagnosis (κ=0.72; 88.7% agreement), and moderate agreement between the PHQ-9 and the clinical diagnosis (κ=0.55; 71.4% agreement). The BDI-FS-GPT demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy (AUC=0.953) at a cutoff of 3, detecting 89.3% of participants with depression with an 11.5% false-positive rate compared to the PHQ-9 (AUC=0.859) at a cutoff of 5 (sensitivity=71.4%; false-positive rate=13.8%). Participants also reported significantly higher satisfaction with the automated assessment compared to the traditional scale (P=.02). Conclusions: The automated assessment paradigm framework combines the interactivity and personalization of natural language processing–powered tools with the psychometric rigor of traditional scales, suggesting a preliminary #feasibility paradigm for future psychological assessment. Its ability to enhance engagement while maintaining reliability and validity provides encouraging evidence, warranting validation in larger and more diverse studies as large language model technology advances.

Would there be scope for a companion paper like
"There is no such thing as a validated patient-reported outcome measure"?

Or more broadly
"There is no such thing as a validated psychological assessment"?

In this #PrePrint we propose reporting standards for "best-estimate assessments", i.e. where results from multiple experts and multiple sources of (longitudinal) information are integrated (e.g., a diagnosis).

Great #ISOQOL presentation by Milena Anatchkova on thresholds to classify correlations in #HRQL research.
Reminds me of this classic in the related literature of #PsychologicalAssessment:
