Abstract

Measuring mental health accurately is an important endeavor for screening purposes. Depression scales, such as the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale, have been well-established among different populations. Yet, little work has been done to examine the reliability and validity of the CES-D among older American Indians and Alaska Natives. The purpose of our study was to examine the factor structure, reliability, and concurrent validity of the full 20-item and abbreviated 12-item CES-D scale with a sample of older American Indians. Our findings demonstrate excellent internal reliability and concurrent validity of the full and abbreviated CES-D scales in our study sample.

流行病学研究中心对老年美洲印第安人抑郁量表的心理测量学检验:土著老年人护理研究。

准确测量心理健康状况是筛查目的的重要努力。抑郁症量表，如流行病学研究中心抑郁症(CES-D)量表，已经在不同的人群中得到了证实。然而，很少有人研究CES-D在老年美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民中的可靠性和有效性。本研究的目的是在老年印第安人样本中检验完整的20项和简化的12项CES-D量表的因子结构、信度和并发效度。我们的研究结果表明，在我们的研究样本中，完整的和简短的CES-D量表具有良好的内部信度和并发效度。
