In 2004, a separate module to estimate the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of major depressive episode (MDE) was added to the NSDUH questionnaire. To preserve space in the survey, the extra mental health and impairment scales that were not used to estimate serious mental illness (SMI) was removed. A split sample experimented was embedded within the 2004 NSDUH (USA) to measure how the removal of the extra scales would impact overall SMI estimates. Half of the adult sample (n=22 628) was administered the mental health module used in the 2003 NSDUH questionnaire and the other half (n=22 825) was administered the revised module. The results showed large differences within the 2 samples in both the K6 total score and the proportion of respondents with a K6 score above the SMI cutpoint.
