You need to know most (but not all) of the material on this page. The Exam won't ask you a question directly about Kroenke et al.. Instead, you'll be asked about "a Contemporary Study in clinical psychology other than Carlsson et al." or perhaps "a Contemporary Study into a disorder other than schizophrenia". You won't get asked specifically about what's in the PHQ or Kroenke's sample or anything like that.

The PHQ does a bit more than just indicate how severe a person's depression is. It also seems to make a fairly accurate diagnosis of clinical (unipolar) depression. In particular, if the respondent scores 10 or more on PHQ, that indicates a depressive disorder (as proposed by Kroenke et al., 2001).
The question is, is the score of ≥ 10 on PHQ a reliable and valid way of diagnosing someone with a depressive disorder?

Don't start with description: start with evaluation.
Evaluation point + evidence = "logical chain of reasoning"
4 of these "logical chains" are enough for a 8-mark question
Issues & Debates make great conclusions
