Adolescent psychopathology: I. Prevalence and incidence of depression and other DSM-III-R disorders in high school students.

Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) As a Screening Instrument for Depression Among Community-Residing Older Adults
TL;DR: There was no significant degradation in the ability of the CES-D to screen for depression among community-residing elderly adults, and the sample did not include participants with the more disabling forms of cognitive or functional impairment and physical illness.

Robert E. Roberts,Jean S. Phinney,Louise C. Masse,Y. Richard Chen,Catherine Ramsay Roberts,Andrea J. Romero +5 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the structure and construct validity of a measure of ethnic identity among young adolescents from diverse ethnic groups and found that ethnic identity was related positively to measures of psychological well-being such as coping ability, mastery, self-esteem and optimism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for adolescent depression: a comparison of depression scales
TL;DR: Investigation of the ability of two depression scales to identify cases of DSM-III-R major depression and dysthymia in a large, community sample of high school students indicates that neither the BDI nor the CES-D should be used by themselves as methods for case ascertainment in either epidemiological or experimental studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale: its use in a community sample.
TL;DR: The authors conclude that the CES-D Scale may be useful as an initial or first-stage screening test for depression and corroborated earlier findings of a modest relationship between self-reported symptoms of depression and the diagnosis of depression.
