Abstract

Against the background of a lack of screening instruments for measuring depressive symptoms in Colombian adolescents and preadolescents, this study aims to establish the internal consistency reliability, component structure and the concurrent and discriminant validity of the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Six-Item Scale (KADS-6) among preadolescent school students in Sincelejo, Colombia. Participated 710 youth (10.8 years of age ± .75 years) divided into two groups to cross-validate analyses that were undertaken to determine the internal consistency reliability, as well as the concurrent and discriminant validity, of the KADS-6 among preadolescents. Results show that over 95% of the sample did not report problems understanding any of the items on the KADS-6. The KADS-6 had acceptable levels of internal consistency reliability, concurrent and discriminant validity and was unidimensional. In conclusion, The KADS-6 is well understood by Colombian preadolescents and has adequate psychometric properties in adolescents, rendering it acceptable for use with Colombian preadolescents.

在哥伦比亚青少年样本中验证库彻青少年抑郁 6 项量表。
由于缺乏用于测量哥伦比亚青少年抑郁症状的筛查工具,本研究旨在确定库切尔青少年抑郁六项目量表(KADS-6)在哥伦比亚自莱霍青少年学龄前学生中的内部一致性可靠性、成分结构以及并发和判别效度。710 名青少年(10.8 岁 ± 0.75 岁)分成两组参加了交叉验证分析,以确定 KADS-6 在青春期前儿童中的内部一致性可靠性、并发有效性和判别有效性。结果表明,95% 以上的样本对 KADS-6 中任何项目的理解都没有问题。KADS-6 的内部一致性信度、并行效度和判别效度都达到了可接受的水平,而且是单维的。总之,哥伦比亚的学龄前儿童对 KADS-6 有很好的理解,并且在青少年中具有充分的心理测量特性,因此可以用于哥伦比亚的学龄前儿童。
