First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a Turkish translation of the Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4DSQ) helps Belgian general practitioners who don't speak Turkish better diagnose depression and anxiety in Turkish-speaking patients with language barriers. About 80 patients and their doctors will take part in interviews to see if the questionnaire improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions. The goal is to provide better mental health support for this community.
