Schools, child guidance clinics, pediatric practices, and child psychiatric settings are common users of this instrument. The Children’s Depression Inventory is used by clinicians and counselors to help: Assess self-reported key symptoms of depression, such as a child’s feelings of worthlessness and loss of interest in activities; Support diagnosis and treatment planning; Conduct clinical research. Participants are required to answer 27-items using the paper-and-pencil format and should be between the ages of 7 and 17. Approximately 5-10 minutes is necessary for completion.
