“…It is measured on a 4-point scale, with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms and a maximum possible score of 63. The BDI -II has been previously translated and validated in a Croatian clinical sample [32]. In the present study, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.94.…”

“…The BDI has undergone two major revisions: in 1978 as the BDI-IA and in 1996 as the BDI-II 115. In recent years, many attempts have been made to examine the psychometric properties of the BDI-II; however, these studies focused mostly on data from adult populations,16171819 and a limited number of reliability and validity studies of the BDI-II have been conducted in adolescents, either outpatients or inpatients 2021…”

ObjectiveThe Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) is one of the most popular scales for evaluating the severity of depression in adolescents as well as adults. The prevalence of depression increases during adolescence, and it has shown a rapid increase with occurrence at an earlier age and a tendency to continue into adulthood. Data from an adolescent nonclinical sample provides us more information related to depressive symptoms as potential risk factors. The current study was designed to two objectives: 1) to analyze the reliability and validity the BDI-II among Korean adolescents and 2) to evaluate the factorial structure in a Korean nonclinical adolescent sample.MethodsThe participants included 1072 adolescent boys and girls. We assessed the internal consistency, corrected item-total correlation, and the convergent validity of the BDI-II. We also performed confirmatory factor analyses to determine the internal structure of the BDI-II for Korean adolescents using Mplus 6.1.ResultsThe Cronbach's alpha for the BDI-II total score was 0.89. The correlation between the BDI-II and the PHQ-9 was strong (r=0.75), and anxiety-related measures were 0.68 and 0.71, which were also in the high range. Among the five different factor structures, the modified three-factor model demonstrated the best overall fit.ConclusionThe BDI-II is a reliable tool for measuring the severity of depressive symptoms in Korean adolescents. Therefore, the findings can provide basic information for examining the prevalence rate, intervention strategies for depression in adolescents.

“…The BDI‐II is a 21‐item questionnaire consistent with DSM criteria for depression, and has been widely used to assess the severity of depression (Smarr & Keefer, ). Given that the BDI‐II has diagnostic validity (Jakšić, Ivezić, Jokić‐Begić, Surányi, & Stojanović‐Špehar, ), and was used by Indig et al () as diagnostic tool, it was included in this review. Indig et al applied the BDI‐II to a sample of incarcerated people (both Indigenous and non‐Indigenous Australians) to determine levels of depression; as in the other studies, there was no mention made of attempts to validate this measure for Indigenous Australians.…”

Objective: There is limited research available regarding the prevalence rates of psychiatric illness in Indigenous Australians, and the available literature varies widely in terms of methods and findings. Culturally valid and appropriate tools are needed to ensure accurate outcomes. The purpose of this review is to examine the methods used to diagnose psychiatric disorders in Indigenous Australians and identify whether these are culturally appropriate or valid. Method: A systematic search of available literature was undertaken in electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Web of Science, Medline, and Informit Health Indigenous Australians Peoples Collections). Narrative synthesis was used to analyse the data obtained, with a quantitative evaluations of study quality and cultural validity. Results: Twelve articles were included for review. Six studies were of diagnostic tools and none had been validated for use with Indigenous Australians. Another six used practitioner assessment. Some studies indirectly referenced cultural competence on behalf of the practitioner, but again on the whole this was lacking. Conclusions: Further validation of the use of diagnostic instruments in Indigenous Australians is needed so that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in this population can be accurately determined. In addition, practitioners working with Indigenous Australians should have some training in cultural awareness or competence, and consider the cultural appropriateness of diagnostic tools when applied to this population.
