Overview

Various definitions have been proposed for a response (Reliable Change Index (RCI)) and a remission to treatment.

  • PHQ-9 score of ≤9 combined with improvement of 50% (the original definition)[1]
  • A 30% reduction in a score[2].
  • A 50% reduction in a score[3].
  • Responsiveness statistic of Guyatt is the mean change divided by the square root of 2 x mean square error[4][5]
  • The "response mean (difference of mean scores at 2 assessment points divided by standard deviation of score changes)...to compute the 95% confidence intervals of the standardized response means"[5][6]
  • One standard error of measurement (SEM) of Wyrich[7][6]
  • Jacobson has suggested[8]:
    • "The level of functioning subsequent to therapy should fall outside the range of the dysfunctional population, where range is denned as extending to two standard deviations beyond (in the direction of functionality) the mean for that population."
    • "The level of functioning subsequent to therapy should fall within the range of the functional or normal population, where range is defined as within two standard deviations of the mean of that population."
    • "The level of functioning subsequent to therapy places that client closer to the mean of the functional population than it does to the mean of the dysfunctional population."[9]
