AbstractObjectives: Following disruption from students, particularly boys, during the administration of item 10, the ‘feel like crying’ question, of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), this study sought to explore the issue of non-response to this question. It was decided that particular attention should be given to gender differences in responses and non-responses, based on the experiences of researchers administering this measure.Method: Chi-square analysis of non-responses was conducted on CDI items collected from a total sample of 2,297 second year and pre-leaving certificate students from 23 randomly selected schools in the Mid-West region of Ireland.Results: Analysis identified item 10 as being significantly less likely to be completed than any other item. Further analysis revealed that boys were significantly less likely to respond to this question than girls.Conclusion: A modification of the wording to item 10 is suggested to ameliorate this difficulty.

Children’S Depression

Previous research has indicated differences in the presentation and measurement of depressive symptoms across ethnic groups. In the current study, we examined the factor structure of the Children’s Depression Inventory in an ethnically diverse sample of adolescents in foster care ( n = 346; Mage= 13.13 years, SD = 2.18 years) and examined the configural invariance of the measure across ethnic groups. Findings indicated a two-factor structure in the total sample. Furthermore, configural invariance was not supported, in that unique factor structures emerged for African American, White, and Hispanic subsamples. Findings hold implications for research and practice involving the assessment of depressive symptoms among youth in out-of-home care and among ethnic minority adolescents.

Resumo Objetivo Identificar os principais indicadores de depressão de amostra de adolescentes em vulnerabilidade social e associar com variáveis sociodemográficas e comportamentais. Método: A amostra foi composta por 135 adolescentes em vulnerabilidade social de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Indicadores de depressão foram investigados por meio do Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI). Para comparação entre os sexos, utilizou-se o teste U de Mann-Whitney. Com o objetivo de identificar os fatores de agrupamento entre os sintomas depressivos, recorreu-se à análise fatorial com rotação ortogonal varimax normalized. Além disso, a Regressão de Poisson foi utilizada no sentido de identificar as razões de prevalências, tendo como variável desfecho o tercil superior da pontuação do CDI. Resultados: Os indicadores “perda ou ganho de peso”, “baixa autoestima” e “fadiga” apresentaram maior poder explicativo dos escores do CDI. Os meninos atingiram maior pontuação média (24,9 pontos). Os índices do CDI foram altos independentemente de questões sociodemográficas, como etnia, e comportamentais, tempo em frente à televisão e ao computador ou videogame. Conclusão: Foram observadas altas prevalências de sintomatologia depressiva nos adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade social, com destaque para os meninos, que possuíram 2,24 vezes maior probabilidade de apresentar pontuação elevada no CDI em comparação às meninas.

Se administró a seiscientos estudiantes de 11 a 17 años de nivel socio-económico medio-bajo de un liceo público del Montevideo suburbano, el Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI, Kovacs)  tomado de la traducción y validación españolas y factorizado y validado en Uruguay por estos autores con propiedades psicométricas mayoritariamente satisfactorias. La prevalencia de la depresión alcanzó un 15% de la muestra. Con respecto al género, se confirmaron puntuaciones más altas en las chicas  en la  Puntuación Global y las dimensiones identificadas.  Solamente el factor Ineficacia se presenta  independiente del género sugiriendo una problemática adolescente  específica. La depresión evoluciona dependiendo del género y  aumenta significativamente con la edad consistentemente  con parte de la literatura que destaca  un incremento en la población femenina posterior a los 12 años. Aunque no hay diferencia ínter género en los estudiantes no deprimidos, entre los moderados y severamente deprimidos, las chicas son el doble de los varones con variaciones por factor.
