* For depression scales, AUC was for detecting individuals with major depression as diagnosed by the PHQ-9 diagnostic algorithm. For anxiety scales, AUC was for detecting individuals who screened positive for one or more anxiety disorders. Of the 244 patients, 59 (24.1%) had probable major depression and 113 (46.3%) were anxiety-disorder screen-positive.

SE = standard error of AUC.
