Routinely administered questionnaires are often used to help improve
the recognition and outcome of minor psychiatric disorders. In a
systematic review of randomised controlled trials, Gilbody et al
(p 406) found that there was no evidence for patient's scores on
questionnaires having any effect on clinical practice. However, patients with high scores were increasingly diagnosed with disorders such as depression though their management and eventual outcome was not
improved. Therefore, there is no evidence of benefit for the current
use of such questionnaires.
