Abstract
Patients in a general medical practice who had scored above a cut off point on the Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire indicating emotional disorder were contacted for a retest. The 59 respondents who had had no formal psychotherapy were grouped according to length of time lapsed since their first questionnaire: less than 12 months (8 patients), 12 to 23 months (9 patients), 24 to 35 months (12 patients), 36 to 47 months (21 patients), and 48 or more months (9 patients). An analysis of variance showed no significant test-retest differences for length of time elapsed. A further analysis eliminating older patients showed a test-retest difference (regression artifact?) but no effect of length of time elapsed.
