Table A.30. Demographic Characteristics of EQ-i 2.0 Clinical and Matched General Population Samples

The following table summarizes the demographic characteristics of the depressed/dysthymic, other clinical, and matched general population groups used in validity analyses of the EQ-i 2.0. Ideally, these groups should include representation from a wide range of demographic groups, and the general population group should be demographically similar to the depressed/dysthymic and other clinical groups, as was the case in the samples.
