Abstract
Article AbstractBecause this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.To the Editor: In the recent article by Gibbons and colleagues, their Computerized Adaptive Diagnostic Test for Major Depressive Disorder (CAD-MDD) was presented as a "diagnostic screening tool." However, the authors themselves stated, "Screening measures, like the CAD-MDD, are not diagnostic measures…." Consistency is needed. The term diagnostic screening tool is self-contradictory, and calling this test "diagnostic" is misleading. Screening tests do not make diagnoses—they assess the likelihood of undeclared disease.
