The PHQ-9 is a slightly more detailed nine question survey covering some of the major symptoms of depression and the frequency a person has experienced them. It is based directly on the diagnostic criteria listed in the DSM-IV and often used as a follow up to a positive PHQ-2 test.<ref>[http://www.depression-primarycare.org/clinicians/toolkits/materials/forms/phq9/ The MacArthur Initiative on Depression Primary Care - Resources for Clinicians: Patient Health Questionnaire]</ref>
