Abstract
Depression and anxiety are common conditions in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and often coexist with behaviour problems. We examined whether behaviour problems can be used to screen for depression and anxiety in ID. Clinical prediction models (CPM) generated from independent databases supported the utility of the depression screen, especially in severe/profound ID. CPM did not support the utility of the anxiety screen at any ID level. Given the paucity of screening tools to improve ascertainment of mental ill-health in ID, the short depression screen would be clinically useful in identifying those who need to undergo a full diagnostic evaluation.
