Objectives:

- Assess the prevalence and severity of depression and anxiety in underserved and
minority women seen in the gynecologic oncology clinic at Lyndon Baines Johnson General
Hospital.

choose to participate, anonymously. The questionnaires will be preceded with a statement
informing the patient that by completing the study questionnaires she is consenting to study
participation. No patient names or medical record numbers will be documented.

When a patient checks in for her clinic appointment, she will receive a packet of study
materials consisting of a cover letter describing the study objectives, the Female Sexual
Function Index, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and a demographic questionnaire.
The tools used in this study will be available in both English and Spanish.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Women seen at the Gynecologic Oncology Clinic at the Lyndon Baines Johnson General
Hospital. The women must be able to read and write either English or Spanish.

Exclusion Criteria:
