During the past decade, common mental disorders (CMD) have emerged as a major public andoccupational health problem in many countries. Several instruments have been developed to measure the influence ofhealth on functioning at work. To select appropriate instruments for use in occupational health practice and research,the measurement properties (eg, reliability, validity, responsiveness) must be evaluated. The objective of this studyis to appraise critically and compare the measurement properties of self-reported health-related work-functioninginstruments among workers with CMD.
