TLDR
Comprehensive comparison of the several models supported a novel, psychometrically robust, and unbiased 3-factor 14-item solution, with factors that are more in line with current diagnostic criteria for depression.
Abstract
Background The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977) is a commonly used freely available self-report measure of depressive symptoms. Despite its popularity, several recent investigations have called into question the robustness and suitability of the commonly used 4-factor 20-item CES-D model. The goal of the current study was to address these concerns by confirming the factorial validity of the CES-D.

The Reliability and Validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) for Chinese University Students.

TL;DR: The CES-D has good reliability and validity for assessing subthreshold depression in Chinese university students and suggests that the newly derived model with 14 items was the best fit for data.

Reliability and Validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale in a Population-Based Cohort of Middle-Aged U.S. Adults.

TL;DR: Examination of the reliability and factor structure of the CES-D in the MacArthur Foundation's Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS), a nationally representative cohort study of noninstitutionalized, English-speaking adults aged 24–74 years found high internal consistency was demonstrated alongside a replication of the original 4-factor structure.

Screening for depression in primary care clinics: the CES-D and the BDI.

TL;DR: Results suggested that either the CES-D or BDI might assist physicians in reliably detecting depressed patients, without an overload of false positives, and compared with those from other studies suggest that depression screening instruments may be particularly helpful with older primary care patients.
