Exploring transdiagnostic factors for mental health screening in primary care: a secondary analysis of a randomised controlled pilot study
Overview
This secondary analysis of a pilot study investigates the relationship between transdiagnostic factors, such as emotion regulation mechanisms and negative affectivity, and mental health symptoms in primary care patients. The findings indicate that while all examined factors correlate with depressive, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, negative affectivity is the strongest predictor of symptom variance. The authors suggest negative affectivity serves as a useful indicator of overall symptom burden, whereas emotion regulation mechanisms showed limited incremental value for screening purposes.
