Assessment of depression in childhood and adolescence: an evaluation of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC)
ME Faulstich, MP Carey, L Ruggiero, P Enyart and F Gresham
Psychometric characteristics of the Center for Epidemiological Studies
Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) were evaluated with 148 child and
adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Test-retest reliability, internal
consistency, and concurrent validity were adequate. Principal components
analysis identified three distinct factors: behavioral and cognitive
components of depression and a happiness dimension. However, subsequent
factor scores and CES-DC total scores were unable to discriminate DSM-III
diagnoses, including depressive and nondepressive categories. The CES-DC
showed poor reliability and validity in the children alone but had good
psychometric properties for the adolescents. More validational research is
required before standard clinical use can be recommended.
