We also explored the role of education and income on responses to these measures. Methods: This cross-sectional study used baseline data from PROACTIVE, a cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate a psychosocial intervention for late life depression among older adults. Participants aged 60 years or over with a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) score≥10 were recruited from 20 primary healthcare clinics. Ordered logistic regression models assessed the association between depression severity, income and education and dimension level responses on the EQ-5D-5L and ICECAP-O. Multivariable regression models investigated the ability of EQ-5D-5L and ICECAP-O scores to discriminate between depression severity levels and other characteristics, including education level and household income. Results: 715 participants were included in the study. Depression severity was associated with all EQ-5D-5L and ICECAP-O dimensions, except the ICECAP-O enjoyment attribute. Household income, on the other hand, was only associated with the ICECAP-O security attribute. Higher severity of depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 scores) were also strongly associated with lower (i.e. worse) scores on both measures in all models. Education level and household income showed no association with either EQ-5D-5L or ICECAP-O scores. Conclusions: This is the first study that investigated the validity of these two measures among older adults in Brazil. Both EQ-5D-5L and ICECAP-O showed evidence of validity in differentiating depressive symptom severity. date: 2022-07 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vhri.2021.11.005 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1939803 doi: 10.1016/j.vhri.2021.11.005 lyricists_name: Moreno Agostino, Dario lyricists_id: DMORE92 actors_name: Moreno Agostino, Dario actors_id: DMORE92 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: 17/50094-2 [São Paulo Research Foundation]; MR/R006229/1 [Joint Global Health Trials initiative]; 2018/19343-0 [São Paulo Research Foundation]; 205384/Z/16/Z [Wellcome Trust]; 307579/2-19-0 [CNPq-Brazil] full_text_status: public publication: Value in Health Regional Issues volume: 30 pagerange: 91-99 citation: Nakamura, Carina Akemi; Mitchell, Paul M; Peters, Tim J; Moreno-Agostino, Darío; Araya, Ricardo; Scazufca, Marcia; Hollingworth, William; (2022) A validation study of the EQ-5D-5L and ICECAP-O among older individuals with depressive symptoms in Brazil.
