Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Drs. Thombs and Ziegelstein were authors of a study on the diagnostic accuracy of depression screening tools that was included in this systematic review. Dr. de Jonge was an author of two studies on the treatment of depression. No other authors have any conflicts of interest to declare. No authors have any relationship to industry. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
