Objective: To review the psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a self-report measure of depression in a variety of settings and populations. Methods: Relevant studies of the BDI-II were retrieved through a search of electronic databases, a hand search, and contact with authors. Retained studies (k = 118) were allocated into three groups: non-clinical, psychiatric/institutionalized, and medical samples. Results: The internal consistency was described as around 0.9 and the retest reliability ranged from 0.73 to 0.96. The correlation between BDI-II and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I) was high and substantial overlap with measures of depression and anxiety was reported. The criterion-based validity showed good sensitivity and specificity for detecting depression in comparison to the adopted gold standard. However, the cutoff score to screen for depression varied according to the type of sample. Factor analysis showed a robust dimension of general depression composed by two constructs: cognitive-affective and somatic-vegetative. Conclusions: The BDI-II is a relevant psychometric instrument, showing high reliability, capacity to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed subjects, and improved concurrent, content, and structural validity. Based on available psychometric evidence, the BDI-II can be viewed as a costeffective questionnaire for measuring the severity of depression, with broad applicability for research and clinical practice worldwide.

“…The instrument has been administered extensively and shown to have good reliability coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.92 (29). The BDI has been shown to have good convergent and discriminatory validity in inpatient adolescents (30)(31)(32)(33), outpatient adolescents (34,35), and nonclinical adolescent populations (36,37). While scores on the BDI II of 0-9 are considered normal, scores of greater than or equal to 10 indicate that the individual is symptomatic (38).…”

This longitudinal pilot study of adolescent renal transplant recipients (a) describes the prevalence of psychological distress, (b) describes the prevalence of nonadherence, and (c) explores the association between the recipient's psychological distress and his/her subsequent medical adherence. Twenty-two adolescents, aged 13-18 years, completed two interviews that were separated by approximately 12 months. Psychological distress was assessed in three domains: symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger. Adherence was assessed in three domains: medication taking, blood work, and clinic attendance. At the initial interview, 36.4% had symptoms of depression, 36.4% endorsed anxiety, and 18.2% endorsed excessive state anger. Non-adherence rates were 13.6% for medication, 22.7% for blood work, and 50% for missed clinic. At the second interview, nonadherence with medication remained the same and the other domains decreased. Our small pilot sample, however, limited our ability to detect statistically significant changes over time. Predictive analyses demonstrated that adolescents with excessive anger were at greater risk for subsequently missing medications than adolescents without excessive anger. These findings suggest that while symptoms of depression and anxiety are observed among some adolescents with renal transplants, only anger is associated with elevated risk for nonadherence with medication.
