Is CES-D reliable?

Is CES-D reliable?

The CES-D has exhibited a satisfactory reliability in a number of studies of the general population, with a high Cronbach’s alpha value, for instance, in Armenian (0.89 for women and 0.83 for men), Dutch (0.93), and English and the Spanish people (0.91 and 0.92 respectively) [23-25].

How is the CES DC scored?

All items on the CES-DC are rated on a 4-point Likert scale in terms of its frequency of occurrence throughout the past week. A score of 0 indicates “not at all”; a score of 1 indicates “a little”; a score of 2 indicates “some”; and a score of 3 indicates “a lot” (Radloff, 1977; Weissman et al., 1980).

How do you score Rcads?

To score the RCADS manually, each item is assigned a numerical value from 0-3, where 0 = Never, 1 = Sometimes, 2 = Often, and 3 = Always. For each subscale add the numerical values for each item together. The items that comprise each subscale are listed below.

How do you interpret CDI scores?

Children’s depression inventory (CDI) The item scores are combined into a total depression score, which ranges from 0 to 54. A higher CDI score means a higher depressive state. We used a Korean version of the CDI12 which demonstrated good reliability and validity for assessing depressive symptoms.
