abstract="OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in complete response rates for depression screening questions based on demographic characteristics. <br><br>METHODS: Cross-sectional study examining associations between demographic characteristics and completely responding depression-screening questions. PARTICIPANTS: &quot;Healthy Minds Study&quot; data, collected in a public University in February 2016, where 7326 students participated. <br><br>RESULTS: women (AOR: 0.69; 95% CI = 0.57- 0.83) and gay/lesbian students (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI = 0.10- 0.60) had better complete response rates. Non-US (AOR: 1.46; 95% CI = 1.03- 2.07), Black (AOR: 3.32; 95% CI = 1.92- 5.77), and Middle-Eastern students (AOR: 3.73; 95% CI = 1.73- 8.02) had lower complete response rates. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows sex, gender, citizenship and race categories have significant differences in complete response rates for the outcome. Our findings have several implications; including recognizing interventions for depression based on responders may not target those that tend to be &quot;partial-responders&quot;. Efforts in survey design, recruiting and completion of surveys should be maximized.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
