1 Diagnosis based on Structured Clinicial Interview of DSM-IV disorders axis I and II (SCID I and SCID II).

2 all determinants were entered.

3 stepwise backwards logistic regression, last step of the regression model is reported.

4 Including 10 items.

5 Defined as current sexual/physical abuse, or still suffering from a past history of sexual/physical abuse.

6 Defined as consuming at least one glass of alcohol a week.

*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.

Model 1, short set of 3 items , x² = 75.3, p < 0.001. Nagelkerke's R² = 0.276, HL (Hosmer & Lemeshow) = 6.312.

Model 2, intermediate set of 5 items, x² = 171.1, p < 0.001. Nagelkerke's R² = 0.547, HL = 1.454.

Model 3, intermediate ste + Edinburgh Depression Scale, together: extended set of 15 items, x² = 210.1, p < 0.001. Nagelkerke's R² = 0.637, HL = 6.432.

Model 4, intermediate set + 3 psychosocial items, together: comprehensive set of 8 items, x² = 199.9, p < 0.001. Nagelkerke's R² = 0.615, HL = 14.566.
