Factorial structure, internal consistency, convergent, and discriminant validity and cutoff scores were analyzed. <b>Results:</b> Consistent with previous validations of the instrument, Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed a unidimensional factor structure. Furthermore, the results obtained supported the internal consistency and construct validity of the ODSIS scores. A score of 5 was found to meet the criteria used in this study for the optimal cutoff score. <b>Conclusion:</b> The results obtained in this study show that the Spanish version of the ODSIS delivered online is an adequate tool to assess the depression-related severity and impairment in a brief and easy fashion.Frontiers in psychiatry180https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6465570biostudies-literatureCapturing the Severity and Impairment Associated With Depression: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) Validation in a Spanish Clinical Sample.PMC6465570Gonzalez-Robles AMolinari GBotella CDiaz-Garcia AQuero SBanos RMiguel CBreton-Lopez JMira AGarcia-Palacios AfalseCapturing the Severity and Impairment Associated With Depression: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) Validation in a Spanish Clinical Sample.<b>Background:</b> The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) is a self-report scale designed to evaluate the severity and functional impairment associated with depression. <b>Objective:</b> This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the online version of the ODSIS in Spanish outpatients with depression and anxiety disorders. <b>Method:</b> Patients with a main diagnosis of a depressive (<i>n</i> = 283) or anxiety disorder (<i>n</i> = 191) and a mean age of 38.15 (<i>SD</i> = 12.06) were evaluated with a clinical diagnostic interview and measures assessing depression, anxiety, positive and negative affect, and quality of life.
