The psychometric characteristics of the Children's Depression Inventory, CDI (Kovacs, 1992) in a sample of 1705 participants (792 boys and 913 girls) and a clinical sample of 102 participants (42 boys and 60 girls) between 10 and 18 years old are presented. Reliability coefficients range, for both samples, from .82 (test) to .84 (retest) in the community sample, and .85 (test, clinical sample); test-retest reliability is .81 in the community sample. The mean scores are similar to other Spanish and English ones. Girls score higher than boys. The cut-off point that best differentiates between depressive and community participants is 19, with a sensitivity of 94.7%, a specificity of 95.6%, a positive predictive value of .90, and a negative predictive value of .98.

Aim It is increasingly important for mental healthcare providers and researchers to reliably assess client change, particularly with common presenting problems such as anxiety. The current study addresses this need by establishing a Reliable Change Index of 6 points for the GAD-7. Method Sample size included 116 online community participants using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and archival data for 332 clinical participants. Participants completed measures of the GAD-7 and the MDI in 2 rounds. Using previously established cutoff scores and Jacobson and Truax’s (1991) method, we establish a Reliable Change Index which, when applied to 2 administrations of the GAD-7, indicates if a client has experienced meaningful change. Results For the GAD-7, the mean score for the clinical sample was 10.57. For the community sample at Time 1, the mean score was 4.14. A Pearson’s correlation was computed to assess the 14-28-day test-retest reliability of the GAD-7, r(110) = .87, indicating good test-retest reliability. Conclusion Using the RCI equation, this resulted in an RCI of 5.59. For practical use the RCI would be rounded to 6.

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.
